Cleaning the firewall bulkhead connector, just like the c101 it's full of black tar. I hope this fixes all my electrical bugs...

Yeah and out of the Ditch ^^ It feels sloppy without it, but I was used to sport-cars, Jap luxury, and muscle cars before I bought the Cherokee.
I think it handles pretty well for a 4X4 - With the stabilizer bar.
However, I Don't want to get out to dis-connect it, that's why I'm trying to build a disengage-able stabilizer
OK ...
wel I managed to pry it into a position where I can get the bolts in - was a PITFA - even though the blocks allowed a little more slop to fit the bolts in ( I loosened all bolts, before adding the last ones)

I replaced my alternator, battery and installed sway bar qd's. No pics of those projects but I did put some new tires on - Goodyear duratracs 33x12.5 - I will get a better picture of how they fit and look when it stops raining.

I got outer axle seals on my d30& Me and my buddy striped the interior of his jeep and rhinolined it. Got some on rear windows on accident so we gave it a 'redneck window tint' plans to chop it in the future.

This was on the first, I was in Oak Harbor to get the trany filter and fresh fluid. My plan was to go home and do the job there, but my 88 had other plans. So instead of the comfort of my drive way she had me do it in the parking lot of my roommates bank. I did a bit of mall crawling bumped up the curb, popped her plug and proceeded to field strip the filter and get it all back together in under an hr. I'm told that that's not bad for a guy that had never done it before.

I voted today. Also removed all of the tranny bolts to the motor, plan on doing the torque converter bolts tomorrow along with unplugging everything up top. Also order some 5.5 coils for the jeep, painted my bumper purple and installed half of my temporary 6" lift. Pictures do not do justice on how much of a difference there is between the front and rear of the jeep

That is amazing! It was logistical hell getting my new leafs up here. I'd like to get one of the OME 1.5" heavy spring sets, but that's going to have to wait until next time I drive south.
