I guess I can't edit my first post anymore which sucks, I was going to mark everything done in the last month or so.
90k Service complete (I found out that the timing belt was replaced at 114k but didn't know if the waterpump had be replaced and since I already had all the parts and wanted piece of mind I went ahead and had the service done anyways)
I also got the Cam and Crank sensors replaced since the front of the engine was exposed for the rest of the 90k service.
BG Oil change, used the the JDM spec 20004 thanks to Trunk Monkey for putting together the
90k service list here. Thanks to CruiserDan for the prices (I felt like I was getting the parts at cost, comparing his prices to my local dealer or Sewell, he was under a good 20-30%. I'll be order pretty much anything I can from him from now on.
Flush power steering fluid
BG Flush of cooling system, add new antifreeze
Got the aftermarket front and rear brakes installed with the shim kits to keep the squeaking down. The strange thing is a noise coming from the driver side front wheel when I make a right hand turn at 10+ mph. I wonder if the rotors I bought are flexing slightly and rubbing against something? I climbed under and there is plenty of space between the rotors and the inside of the wheels, I'll have to search around the forum for brake problems and see what it is. Anyone else with aftermarket front rotors experience this? It sounds like two pieces of metal are rubbing in a circular motion and only happens when I make right hand turns.
Had CV boot repacked with grease and installed
pfran's super cv clamps. I forgot to tell the service shop to make sure the rolled edge of the clamp should be facing the boot, guess I'll either have them flipped around or run for a while and see if they cut or tear the boots any.
Flushed the brake fluid, it was black, yikes.
Transmission flush, I think I'm starting to notice the driveline clunk, when I'm coming to a stop there is a bit of a clunk now that the fluid was changed.
Front and real diff fluid changed.
Transfer case fluid changed.
Had the ARB turn lights wired into my existing wiring harness.
Got the cabin air filters replaced (I was going to do this myself using
this thread off the FAQ list, but my mechanic got to it first.
Four wheel alignment, rotate and balance tires. for the record Shiromie came with Michelin LTX 275/70 R16. I do have plans for 18's and some new tires but not until I get the AHC in lifted mode and the diff dropped.
Had the headlights adjusted (I need to figure out how to do this myself, I didn't find any posts that showed the adjuster for the low beams)
Full detail (Heck that's the best $195 I spent, the local Dodge/Jeep dealership has a great detail department. I'm amazed at how well this vehicle cleaned up, with the Tuffstuff on the carpets to a couple of replaced interior trim pieces the inside looks brand new. I am often told by passengers that they thought the vehicle was much newer than 2001.
All in with purchase price of $14800, $1700 on bumpers, $630 on slotted and drilled Cryo rotors and high performance brake bads and the rest on some maintenance I'm in about $20500 which is about the going rate for a similar year make and model from dealers and Carmax around my area.
I found Ryan Bascom
* * * * * * * * * * * * On The Road Again Mobile Mechanic - Home lives about 5 mins from me so I am having him help me change the AHC fluid and by "help me" I mean, he's going to do it while I watch
I still have some budget left for a new head unit stereo system and to fix the speaker covers and worn leather seats which are next on my list.
Shane you get seat patterns made yet?
