It could be a bargaining chip though. Take it for a bit, and check the pressure sending unit, it could be a $20.00 fix that would save you thousands...if played right. If you can't check it, it might be worth getting it to a mechanic to have the pressure checked. IDK, food for thought. HTH!!

Do you have any idea what might help prolong it until i can get money to fix it?

But as far as how it is applied...spray or roll on? I'm leaning more towards the roll on because of the easy application (not covering and taping a whole lot of crap).0
The roll on that you get from auto-zone (herculiner) is awesome. If you just sand off the clear coat it clings forever and is really easy to do

Well I removed the molding but on the bottom panels I have a black sticker type thing on the body. The top portion (about 1 1/4'') peels off easily but the very bottom will not peel off. I do not see green paint under the bottom portion of the sticker thing but sanded it and have bare metal spots now. Will that stuff adhere to this sanded sticker or should I take it all the way to the bare metal you think??

Question What is this?

Today I came across a couple of headlights i purchased a few years back. I believe they are "projector headlights", but i have no idea what to do with them. I do know that the light output blows (hence why i threw them in a storage unit). Is there anything i can do to improve them? and where do i attach the wires for the little blue bulb on the bottom?

You can get a different bulb to improve the light output.

the little wires can be spliced into your turn signal wires so it will blink with the turn signal

Are you serious? I've never heard of something called that. I can't even think of anything close that might be on a Cherokee.

Relocate it to the engine bay. Not all that hard. You need the vac ball though.
