Woke up to nearly 7 inches of snow this morning. After having to go rescue a coworker and take him to work after his car ran off the road, I shoveled out a work space and put the snow tires the Jeep.
Since I don't plan on towing the camper over the winter, I removed the helper leaves while I had the rear wheels off. They did not go willingly.

Installed a 24" penton light bar on my hood, got my front alignment done and my brother in-law discovered I got a locker in the rear. Now I just gotta figure out what kind!

First post on cherokeeforum, today at 645am I held my cig lighter in for too long and noticed my clock didn't work. Then I plugged in my phone into the USB adapter in the outlet and sure enough it did not work. They are both on the same fuse (2) and that's the one that blew and was replaced. Before I got to the parts store I took off the wooden bezel and unscrewed the three Phillips that holds on the box with the outlet in it to see if maybe I melted a wire or something bad. All good under there, next I unscrewed the radio and noticed the ground was broken off. I never use the radio bc only my tweeters work so now I know where to start when I do that project. I put it all back together and for anyone doing this, be gentle but firm putting the bezel back, it was a pain slipping it over the steering wheel neck. I put in a new fuse and all was fixed.
most auto parts stores have them.

2 you can lower the steering wheel - bolt right under the dash - simple.
Pic is not Cherokee but close enough
