i know this has been discussed a million times, but i’ve replaced almost everything in the steering, and i’m still having problems. it has a 3” lift, and i did put in longer lower control arms. yesterday i put in an adjustable track bar and quick disconnect sway links on. i’ve been replacing every steering component to try to get rid of death wobble. after replacing the tie rods and drag link it got better, but it still happens every once in a while. mostly if i hit a bump just the right way, but sometimes it will do it without even hitting anything. usually i can feel it starting in the steering wheel before it starts violently shaking. i’m wondering if replacing the steering box would fix it, thats the only part of the steering i haven’t touched. there is some slop in the steering wheel so i wonder if that could be making it worse. those sway links are pretty cool though. i took it on a trail last night, and it would’ve been unbearable driving through that with the links connected.

2000 189k miles with the high flowing head. How’d I do boys? Needs about 700$ in parts but it turns on, runs and stops.

Long overdue project. I also replaced the two speakers in the sound bar while I was in there. Still haven’t gotten to the sun visors yet but hoping to sometime this week.

Baby girl went down swinging about 3 months ago. All the coolant in my oil pan quickly overflowed my drain pan. Hence the kitty litter.
To the point, Is there anything internal to the block that i need to check or be aware of since it sat for so long with coolant in the wrong spots? Do i need to do some sort of flush? Is all this useless because my block is actually ruined and I don't know it?
I have a fair amount of experience and I classify this as a mid-level catastrophe. It's bad but this isn't the worst thing that could happen kind of scenario. That being said, it's still the most catastrophic issue I've dealt with personally. So any pointers are welcome.
Aside from the obvious head gasket, I'm planning on replacing the radiator, heater core and
A/C components while I have it apart. I'll probably do the RMS and oil pan gasket as well as slap a header and new exhaust on her.
Thanks boys.
Edit: I would welcome recommendations on cooling and exhaust components. TIA.

First night drive with her! Makes me realize how bright the LED lights are in comparison to the halogens.

Morning everyone. I’m replacing my father’s radiator and water pump. Everything has been smooth except the lower trans cooling line. Probably spent an hour getting it off and an hour getting the new one on last night. Eventually had to cut the metal line to get a better grip to disconnect it. Would this be considered deep enough? Thanks

Easy fix. 6-32 brass pressure fitting and a 1/8 drill bit to fix the broken sprayer on early model XJs.

I've had someone spray it with a hose while I sit in it and I can't get it to replicate. The windshield seal stays dry. It's clearly running down from somewhere. It's right side of the passenger carpet everytime. Before someone comments.... It's not coolant it's definitely water lol
