Making a hell of a racket today trying to straighten out the inside fender. I'm sure there's a name for this piece, but if it's not "inside fender" I don't know what it is.

1999 Rotor Size FYI
Just an FYI, some of you may already know but I didn't and wasted some time digging to find the answers I needed. If you are planning on doing a front brake/rotor change and/or hub assy replacement on a 1999 Cherokee... there are two sizes. Some manufacturers state the sizes as 78mm or 82mm. Others simply state whether the rotor is cast or composite. You have to measure the stud on the Hub/Bearing Assy prior to purchase. Measure with Rotor off Hub Assy.
If stud=1 1/2"...you require the CAST rotor.
If stud=1 1/8"...you require the COMPOSITE rotor.
I was confused during this process until I actually took the rotor off and matched up the hub studs.
Hope this helps somebody!

I went with white. I did not change the lights on the climate control section or the switches below that. The pictures in your build thread really show the difference, so I am motivated to finishing up this weekend.

it's pretty easy. The center climate control **** is vac lines. Two post each with a nut. Undo nuts and pull vac line piece off. Other than that simple.

Correct. I'm actually using old hubs with newer rotors because my original rotors were touching the dust boots on my 1-ton steering. This configuration sets the rotors about 1/4" further out than factory.
I don't really recommend that, though, cause it was a struggle to compress the piston enough for reassembly. The outer pad is just barely still on the slide.

Centric Premiums are all I would run for rotors. Cheap on Amazon

No, I don't lick fish.
continued to build the exhaust, routing 3" pipe out the back is proving to be quite a challenge, the generic truck tailpipe kit i bought isnt working like i wanted. i would have been better off buying some generic mandrel bends, id have a lot less wasted pipe too.
one might say..

Oh ok heh... your reply got me.
Replaced valve cover, gasket, air cleaner, and related plumbing.

Real reason was to address a leaky VC gasket, but I think I found my vacuum leak. Hopefully the rough idle will be solved!
