Cool Tom, are you guys taking loads of pictures while you are doing that ?

 

With the trans bolts to the motor let the trans sag down a bit and you can get to the top bolts way easy if ya get stuck or have any questions hit me up I did mine about a week ago so it's still fresh in my head

 

All right guys... motor mounts....done !!!! Transmission mount to follow
What a ***** to do lol

Just a quick question.... when I pull the throttle cable, the engine is still moving a bit... is that normal ?

Note for myself later.... Make sure you put the oil filter back properly.... I have lost 4 quarts f oil in 5 seconds lol

 

Yes it's normal for it to move a little, the 4.0 creates a lot of torque, hence the reason its hard on engine mounts.

 

so everyone will like this...... i was hanging out with tom tonight and we were watching a movie and he got a call from this guy thats was wheeling at 5mile and blew a bead so tom and i were the only ones that could help so we left his place around 10:40pm in north salt lake and headed down. so we finally made it down there and got everything fixed and headed to the chevron at the crossroads and then a cop showed up to check out what was going on then not more then 2 minutes later that another cop showed up and called us in a suspicious vehicles and 30 seconds after that their were 4 more cops there...... didnt know airing up and setting a bead was illegal lol

i thought i was going to get busted for a headlight and a break light out, so 0-6 cops didnt notice so it must be a good start of the week (knock on wood)

 

Well thanks for the advice everyone! The tranny ive been waiting for was the one you dont want so the hunt still goes on for a good replacement. And yes mike and I showed what wheeling is all about, driving to 5 mile from nsl at 11 oclock pm on a work night to help the newest member of ATR Offroad out of a bind! And jeff you still need to pm me your phone number.

 

so im no longer an official member of cherokee forum ...... Aug. 30 will go into history and the day i sold my very first cherokee ive ever owned.... kinda makes me want to cry

 

Sorry to ear that Mike.... are you planning on getting another one ? or you are just steping away from Cherokee's ?

Tom that sucks, good luck on your quest for a new transmission

 

What the hell, almost everyones rigs are down & or gone! While I just got mine back up & on the road... It felt good to take here out to the PET on sunday, but I almost stopped of at the snakes to show my cusins what she'd do! We were way unprepared to go wheelin though no tools, recovery, or even TP! Lol

 

im in the process of a loan to get that black one that i posted a pic of, and if everything goes as planned i will have it tomorrow night. also my roommate was wanting to do a shack down of my new xj so we might be heading out to 5mile this week after work

 

Man this better not turn into the last forum I joined for my car everyone started selling theirs cause they had to or other reasons so it closed down

 

no, it is not going to happen lol.... I still need that forum to help me become a really garage mechanic (so far guys you are doing great as my personnal teachers lol)

 

ill agree with that, this forum will never go down

 

hey Mike good luck on your loan, let us know quick if you get that black XJ and send us some more pictures..... me likey XJ ****

 

Ya we aren't goin anywhere! I've found XJ owners to be some of the most loyal enthusiast... "Its a XJ thing, a step above a jeep thing"!
