Default Not necessarily problems today

But, on going quirks I am still working out:

1) Cracked header
2) one engine mount left to swap
3) ac only works on high
4) headlight switch does not turn interior lights on
5) leaky tranny lines
6) no cig/radio power
7) needs heater core
8) passenger side window only goes up and down by push up/pull down method
9) transmission takes a very long time to shift out of 3rd... revs high

My battery tray broke a week or so ago. Got my battery held in with love for the time being...

Went to all the junkyards to find a replacement, finally at the last yard, on the last cherokee I found one that wasn't already broken or missing. I pulled it out, only $5!

I go to install it today...it's too small for my battery (Group 34). Somebody must have put a smaller battery tray in that 99 cherokee classic I ripped it out of. It won't fit my 98 somehow?!?

I'm thinking of just dropping the 50$ the stealership wants...

Been hard to restart hot for awhile. so forgot a/f was disco and hit a puddle a little fast.... Not the first 4.0 I've seen filled with water but the rest cleared and started. After pulling all the plugs it turned pumped some water out and locked cant turn it either way I'm guessing something is bent
