What did you do to your Cherokee today?
☠ CF Sheriff ☠
Gave the jeep it's last oil change before 300k, re-installed my front driveshaft, and topped up my diff fluid.
Also found (one of) my exhaust header cracks

Try this again...just got XJ #5, did a little maintenance

Modified my RuffStuff coil-link brackets (had to move the coil buckets a bit inboard), assembled the brackets, and tacked them to my waggy front.

Today felt mostly like a failure. I decided not to work on the body wire for the rear hatch until after the holidays. Same thing for the track bar axle side bushing, but because I either want more time or better tools to remove and install the bushings, and I'm also going to wait until I have the body side tie rod end for it and take the track bar out completely and paint it. Then I tried to remove a fender flare retainer so I could reinstall the flare, only to find out that my 8mm wrenches disappeared in the move. I ordered an 8mm deep socket to use instead, but that won't be here until Friday.
It wasn't a complete waste though. I POR-15'd and painted my rear wheels. So at least tomorrow I'll be able to reinstall my bumper and rear wheels and be able to drive again.
Somewhat related is a usb charging-only cable I got for my old Nuvi 260 from onetruegen_com on ebay. I bought a cable, but instead of staying in charging mode, it went into data mode, so I couldn't charge and navigate at the same time. I let him know, and he researched and found that the wiring for the Nuvi is different, and he made me a new cable and shipped it out to me. That's some of the best service I've had, if not the best, which is even more notable since it only costs a few dollars and he could have just refunded me instead of going to the effort to make sure I got the charging cable I wanted.

Not really a Cherokee project even though it is, but I finally got around to finishing a little decor project in my office at work.
Some Cherokee magazine ads from the 80's and cheap Ikea frames... I'm pretty happy with the results.

Also lol @ the Fluke poster showing 802.11 channels. Real-world spectrum analysis in 2.4 GHz is more like a giant rectangle!
I've got a bunch of stuff saved up for garage time. Gonna be fun lol
