All Fixed Up
Got it back from the shop this morning, after this https://www.cherokeeforum.com/showth...ghlight=bronco
Now, it needs a new alternator, upper radiator hose, and probably a new belt. The belt is squeeling like crazy whenever the a/c is on, and sometimes when the Jeep is cranked up.....I've got a feeling they didn't tighten it down enough, even though I brought it back right as I noticed it after picking it up this morning. The upper rad. hose has a small hole in the bottom of it from rubbing against one of the bolts on the a/c compressor. I picked up the hose on my way back and will probably put it on this weekend.
The alternator has been screaming at me for quite some time, and now it's worse after the accident...so i'm just going to go ahead and replace it.
The only thing that really bugs me is the Jeep emblem is a little high up on the front. I also got a can of the paint he put on the front end caps on my way home, so I can make the rest match.
Other than that, i'm very please with how it turned out.....and just damn glad to have it back.

They did good. Glad you kept it cuz it was worth it. Mine was in a front end collision sometime in it's life and the entire front end was replaced (radiator, crossmembers, fan, fan shroud, hood, etc) and it looks like new now. Those body guys sure can fix stuff well.

Thanks for the comments......the left front quarter is still just a hair off....but I can live with it.
I need to somehow come up with a way to adjust the hood latches....they're too loose and sometimes the drivers side of the hood won't latch when I close it (pops back up).
And yes, the Jeep emblem is really on my OCD right now!

Well got the alternator and radiator hose on today.....didn't get to the belt. because my dad picked up the wrong size belt when he got the alternator yesterday. So i'll have to grab one this week and throw it on before this one lets go.
I did find out once I got into things today, the Idler and the AC Clutch are both bent, and need to be replaced ASAP......I just love how fixing one thing snowballs into fixing a lot more things!
