Thank you for all the welcomes! I'm in Oxford.

I haven't been able to do much yet, lots of repairing/replacing 15 year old junk.
What I have done so far is:

All new sensors
Alternator / optima battery
Water pump
Silicon cooling hoses
Rotor / cap / spark plugs and wires
Fancy lights to replace the crappy factory ones
Winch bumper
Aluminum 62mm throttle body
Air intake
Brakes
Heater core and evaporator core (still have a phantom leak somewhere, so I'm replacing everything this weekend)

Have a new header waiting to go in, and I'm doing the injector upgrade at the same time. Pretty much doing the whole exhaust with it. Going to have a local shop do a custom down and tail pipes once I get the new cat and muffler in.

Hoping to get around to a lift and tires soon. Great to meet you all!

Not sure how long, but $250 worth of labor.

So, here's how my jeep day went.

I went to pick up the jeep from the shop. As soon as I walked in the door they said "we can't get your jeep started, have you had this problem before?". I said no and went to take a look at it. They said they did not touch a thing under the hood and did nothing that would affect the jeep running. It wasn't throwing any codes either. They weren't offering to fix it for free and I don't have money sitting around for somebody to just troubleshoot my vehicle. So I did that **** myself. With some help from my cherokee forum friends I was able to narrow it down to the cps. It took a bit to swap out, and I had a check engine light afterward. I reset the computer and now it's gone.

I think my jeep was just mad I abandoned her for a day and left somebody else do work to her.

Not really. That problem wasn't their fault. They did me right when I got work done there before, so I went back. I could've got a better deal, but I couldn't do those bushings, they even had a hard time.

At least they offered to let me have the jeep back before they tore into the engine and really gave me a jacked bill. Plus they thought it was out of gas and put 5 gallons in it heheh.
