Hi everybody,
Just joined the forum, i am from Logan.
I just started a small Cherokee project with my son. I don't know anything, I am under-equipped and with an very very low budget (I am not even telling, that will make you laugh).
Anyway, i am willing to learn so I can do little things to get this Cherokee back on the road .... and maybe back on the off road.
I started by a basic tune up.... Easy maybe but until 2 weeks ago I had never touched an engine.... (I left the fuel filter change for later though).
Now I am working on fixing a bit of the electrical. I guess I need to change the neg cable of the battery (because it looks like the wires are exposed and from what i read, it could be responsible for bad ground and maybe some of the things that are not working well).
Trying also to fight some seized bolts to remove some skid plates to better access etc...
When time come, brakes and maybe try to get the wondows to work
Anyway, i am not going to tell you my life either lol....
I can take any advice that is free and will definitely need a lot of help.
So cheers Northern Utah People, hopefully one of these day, i will see you on one of our beautiful trail....

Thanks for the welcome, I am in south Logan, not too far from you I guess, and I might be the little annoying guy that is asking all kind of questions (after of course having done my homework and searched on the forum first )

welcome steph74, glad to see some new faces on here.
for on those bolts that wont come out here's a few ideas, the first is a product called PB blaster ( its a penetrating spray) and spray those pretty good and repeating and if that doesn't work id heat them up with a torch and then trying to remove them

well I take it you have not seen my face yet then
Thanks for the welcome....
i am still browsing the forum to look for answers that are already there lol....
Now if I was in my country (France, sorry for the haters) I would just say " Hey, come over and look at my jeep and tell me what I need to do and how and I will buy you a beer...." Not sure it would work here in Utah
Thanks for the welcome....

Anytime, just let me know ... seriously
No, seriously, I need cheap help and the book I got so far is not helping very much so far (granted that according to my Father in law and couple of other people I picked up the wrong one....)
