I finally had some time off and did a little maintenance on my 2000 Jeep Cherokee Freedom:
Flushed radiator and added new coolant.
Installed new serpentine belt.
Changed oil and filter.
Installed new battery, Optima redtop.
Installed new tires, yokohama geolandar a t-s 235/70/16
Installed new front brake pad and flushed brake fluid.
Drained and replaced Power steering fuild.
Replaced spark plug.
New air filter.
Greased all suspension points.
And finally washed and cleaned my Jeep.

It was a good day!!

 

RIpped off my sway bar and flexed a bit today

 

Any loss of perpetual momentum? We wheeling this weekend?

 

Im pretty sure Im not gonna be able to go. GOtta save every penny for the 15th.
I might be able to though so dont count me out. Looks like rain which is enticing.


and..

only if I could make the cherokee a perpetual motion device. To be able to continue on and on, forever and ever without loss of energy would be magnificent.



anyways..its a lil more sloppy through the corners, but Its not anything drastically different.

 

Lifted " red " 2" today. It was a coil spacer. I left the stock coil isolators on. Hope its ok. Couldnt get the passengers side track bar bolt off. Got the nut off the bolt, but the f&#%&#%&* bolt was stuck on the track bar bushing spacer or some crap. Yep not even with a half can of PB, A really big F#*#%*# hammer, air chisel/pickle fork, nothing. and , so I took the upper off instead Didnt use a spring compressor, but a tie down to compress just a TEENY lil bit. was still scary tho.
pics tomorrow

it rides better. Less sloppy. Better in the corners. DO I need to adjust my alightment? toe in or out? caster?

 

What did you have to undo the track bar for

 

Pulled my head to replace the gasket. Now waiting for the new head to come in

 

Yup, ive been there. Youll be happy once its back together and running though. GL to ya

 

I couldnt get the axle low enough to get the spacers AND stiffer coils in without unbolting the track bar. it only got me an extra inch, but it helped a lot.


that and soon as I took it off the jackstands the spacer inside the end of the trackbar broke free from its rubber bushing and welded itself onto the spacer. SO it rode like **** and sounded like ****, so I got a new TB and fixed my Death wobble issue

 

New coil to get it running again. Went with an accel. Can't tell yet if it's better than stock.

 

put my doors back on............. its gettin cold in reno

 

^^^ Thats what I like to hear. Ski season cant get here soon enough and it appears to be in no hurry this year.

 

Lol for sure I came home to a package

 

Well I looked at her when I was going to work today with all the snow on her just thinking only a couple more months

 

lowered the front an inch and bought a winch cover cuz it snowed last night
