Good as new!
Looks good man!

Ranging from $10-25 on Ebay. Type in diecast Johny Lightning Jeep Cherokee. It comes in 3 different colors but the silver one has the most bells and whistles. It's very detailed and has all the details of the transfer case, drive shafts, and interior. The hood even opens to show the inline 6 and the tires are made out of rubber on plastic soft 8 wheels. It's really small, but it even has the "Jeep" labels in all the right places

Ah well, you did a good job fixing it up after the accident. Smack on some Chrysler gunmetal pearl on the parts you replaced and it will look good as new!

So yesterday's re-torquing is exactly what I needed to get rid of the squeaky steering problem. It was just the track bar being a little loose – tightened it right up and the squeak stopped.

Today I spent the day doing an internal clean. I vacuumed and scrubbed all the dry dirt and clay out of the carpets. I also used some leather conditioner on the seats; they're really shiny now.



I always wanted to do this:
