Between me, you, and @jcramsey we’ve got quite the XJ on gray Icons club!
I've got 2 XJ's on gray Icon's
What have you done to your rig today?

The white is classier, but that silver speaks to me!
That would match your 2500 tow rig really nice.

The loaner car finally hit 60k miles so I took the time to change the oil, spark plugs, fuel filter, valve cover gasket, and did preventive maintenance to all the hidden plastic water pipes and vacuum hoses.
This seems overly complicated to me.

Got the $200 side boxes mounted and stuff rearranged and organized. Tested clearance with one of the gooseneck trailers and everything should be fine unless I get somewhere really crossed up.

Got the fuel tank pulled off the square frame; hopefully I can get it wire wheeled and painted soon
Had about 4 gallons of the rankest "gasoline" I've ever seen in the tank

Pulled the engine and transmission separately from the parts truck. Did it all without cutting anything in case someone wanted it intact. Drove it in a little after 10:30 and took this picture just before 2. Would have been a little faster if I didn't round off an exhaust nut and have to chisel it off. I will say it was so much easier being just a 2wd and the "HD" having all the extra room with the taller frame to accept the diesel/ Allison combo.
Now just need to re home the rest.

How much for you to come swap my blown up Cummins for my not blown up Cummins?

More work on the loaner.
The struts and shocks were wore slap out so I thought I’d take advantage of Black Friday deals and ordered Koni struts/shocks and H&R springs. I also figured it would be a good time to replace all the rear bushings so I picked up some UHMW bushings and uniball shock mounts from Condor.
I replaced the front control arms and bushings with uniballs earlier in the year. So now the car should be nice and stiff.
The front McPherson struts and springs took about four hours to replace.
The rear. Wtf. This ain’t no first gen mustang. Getting the subframe out was a pain and now these dang subframe bushings are whooping my butt.
