I have the same problem. No time.work eats most and then there is the wife and the kids and the house and the yard....no me time😢but a good problem to have when put into perspective.

well I finely got it done

It was ez but I just could not find the time
Over the 3 day weekend I was able to give the time that it deserved
it only took the better part of one day
Changed to a stock 195 deg F thermostat.... it seems to run a lil cooler

I have been driving my 87 Toyota PU 4X4 with no power steering to work when I dont ride a motorcycle
oh man do I appreciate my XJ now it rides better and has more power than my yo
now I have to build my rack so I can carry my toys

got a new one it is going on this weekend ...I hope

 

[4.3L XJ]

Good luck

I found time this weekend to replace the Vibe Dampener
had to buy a puller but all went well

now it has no leeks and no squeaks

 

[4.3L XJ]

How will you ever be able to drive it without those?

 

[RolandtheHeadless]

goodyear wranglers
I like them so far
