Default Cherokee emblems

Have the Cherokee emblems located on the sides in front of the front doors changed since 1988 to 1991? I want to take the emblems off of an 88 and put them on my 91, are these the same style?

I don't think they're different. I just took the emblems off my 88 parts XJ. The 87 had all the same emblems-just not in the same spots. So my '88 says Cherokee over Laredo on the front, has 4x4 on the sides by the windows but I think the tailgate is a little different as far as placement of the 4.0 Litre, Jeep and Cherokee. Just try google images.

Thumbs up Cherokee emblems

Got some new (old) emblems for the sides in front of the doors (the "Cherokee" ones) does anyone now how to attach these, they used to have foam sticky tape on them but that is old and crusting away. Does anyone have an alternative method?

Would just any double sided foam tape work?

Default Today I completed:

Today:
  • Replaced flasher for turn signals
  • They work now =]
  • Replaced passenger taillight housing
  • made the tow wires look better (zip ties)
  • Added some more trim clips onto the windshield trim for better conformation

I still need to replace the driver taillight housing, it was in much worse condition than the passenger but I need to get one from the bone yard first.

Today was a very successful day because I didn't find any new problems

Default How to install Harmonic Balancer?


After searching through the internet and attempting to do it myself, I have come to the point where I need some help installing the balancer. I am not sure how the woodruff key system works, do i need to glue it or something, because every time I try to line up the balancer, it gets knocked out of the slot and it gets very frustrating. Help Me!

So its been a while, I ripped a crank bolt off an '88 4 cylinder, that sucker was a pain to put on. Anyway, got the HB on. Swapped the fuel pump and it runs like a champ now.

The Jeep got insurance today so I took it to a place with some dirt because it's a jeep. The ride was a little shaky and the steering needs some attention, but I shouldn't have expected much because I was used to driving a 2011 suburban.

Here are the results:







Yeah I know, pathetic right?

So the truck is pretty much ready for use, but it's nowhere close to being done, there is a ton of things that need to be improved before the ride quality will be enjoyable. The problem is that I don't know what to do next.
