Greased the front end zerts and put a center cap on the front wheel.
GOOD TO GO!!!
A grease fitting, grease nipple, Zerk fitting, or Alemite fitting is a metal fitting used in mechanical systems to feed lubricants, usually lubricating grease, into a bearing under moderate to high pressure using a grease gun.
Yesterday, technically, but I'm finishing today hopefully.
I'm replacing the oil pan.
Ran into the usual finessing problems getting it out, but that's not why I ran out of time.
The [inventive string of foul language] oil filter. Last oil change was at a shop, and I swear they must have decided that they routinely blow off the adapter if they're not welded in place and torqued down hardcore.
...so we learned many things yesterday. Like what the inside of that filter looks like. And that the oil filter adapter needs O rings, because, surprise, it has none.
And my partner has finally come around. After being the one to engage in manly, primal battle with the oil filter, he said, 'So, we're changing the oil from now on.'
Changed my muffler since it had a split down the side. Probably should have bought a better one but got the cheapest one they had. It's a bit louder than most Jeeps but WAY quieter than having the hole!
Replaced my factory-style paper media air filter with a new one...........
The one that was in there was one that I put in 3 years ago, and really didn't look very dirty. At $4.53 for a new Wix filter at CARQUEST, I just put one in for the heck of it..............

Finally got tired of looking at my cheapo dryrotting off-brand tires and bought some Yokohama Geolander AT-S's. Not eh greatest tired but the dealer I work for got them cheap for me and they're good enough for my use.
I had to unplug the wiring that went to the hoses and into the compressor that I replaced with the bypass. I didn't unplug the aux fan when I replaced the belt. I wish I had pictures to post because I know it'd help but my only camera is the shattered one on my phone.
Went to my first OHV park, Doe Valley in Windber, PA. Was a breast cancer fundraiser and it was great, wheeled lots of trails that I wouldn't of thought of doing before and showed that my Jeep is more capable than expected.
I drove it today. Yes that's what I did to my Cherokee today. It doesn't ever get driven.
I'm in the same boat. Bought it a year ago with 137xxx miles. Now it's got 139xxx miles. Only really take it out to the trails so I can hike or rock climb.
