Upgraded the old, sloppy "no key required" ignition lock cylinder to a new Tru-tech one (US107LT) from RockAuto.
Very helpful write-up here: https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f51/st...repairs-39494/
If you are just replacing the lock cylinder like I did, you dont actually need to loosen the bolts on the column or remove the blinker harness and assembly as he shows. I didn't have a loose knuckle either so no need to tear down further.

Bought the wrong Rotella 15-40 from the store. Poured it in anyway. Now I'm running 3 qts T6 5-40, and 3 qts 15-40. lol. Magic Cherokee Blend

won't matter once it's up to operating temp - both will be be the same viscosity
I still stand by my opinion that any 40 weight oil is too thick for the 4.0. But whatever...

There are like 9000 threads on oil. And no I'm not trying to promote mine, just keep this one on topic.
Today I gave my XJ a pat and told him "Soon, very soon"
