What did you do to your Cherokee today?

They're stronger than what most say, all depends on the type of driving and future plans for your Jeep. I'm staying with 31s with a DD/Weekend warrior of mild trails mentality so I'm not worried about breaking it, might as well give it a great cover in case of an encounter with a rock.

Yesterday welded my Rusty's heavy duty lower control arm brackets to my Dana 30. Welds aren't pretty since I use a stick welder but they aren't going anywhere

Installed a bored throttle body from:

Loom him up on here, I just drove 60 miles on mine and can really tell a difference in the overall responsiveness of the Jeep.

Welded 30 bolts into the metal backers so I can re-install the factory flares. (There are actually 32 bolts, but 2 actually survived the removal process!)
I went through quite a few drill bits drilling out the broken off studs - time to restock when I catch them on sale at HF.
Then put a quick coat of primer on them and they'll be ready to install tomorrow.

Picked up my winch bumper from Dirtbound today. I sprayed some primer then like 4 coats of vht roll bar chassis satin black. Then I tried installing it and snapped off two of the three bolts for the steering box lol. Luckily I had a new (rebuilt one) steering box in my garage since the one in the cherokee is the exact same one for my 70 Chevy Monte Carlo.
Bought new bolts for it and new hoses since those where rusted stuck too. Man I swear my 99 xj is a rust bucket compared to my 45 year old car. Lol. -_-

I'll post pictures later.
It half counts as today. I worked on my jeep for 20 hours doing different things.
O2 sensor. Map sensor. Oil change. Rebuilt the double cardan drive shaft for the rear. And did s10 leaf springs with shims.
The leaf springs took forever. It sits at what I'm assuming is either 3.5 or 4. Its a little bit taller then the front which is 3.
Tomorrow I will install the drive shaft and hopefully get tires and an alignment done.

...Woke up to brush fresh snow off it yesterday...Still had snow and icicles on it when I got out of school and track practice, when it had been parked in the sun all day.
FYI it's 22 degrees fahrenheit as I type this...Supposed to get to 30s as the day goes on...
