Went to get an alignment today, have a lifetime free alignment from firestone
They said it had 2 quarts over on oil (I have an oil leak so that would have gone down in 2 weeks anyway)
Caster was off but not adjustable on my vehicle (its lifted so of course the caster was off always has)
All ball joints and hub assemblies were good and it is aligned.
But
None of my brake lights are working
Now I have to see whats wrong with my brake lights

About that oil... Its never a good idea to run too much oil in an engine. Or too little for that matter lol

Too much and you'll start to blow seals, and your issues won't just be a simple gasket leak. I'd drain it out and get it to the proper level and just dump a couple hundred mL's every time you need it.

So I went to work on the Cherokee and got a few things figured out and did this and that
Drained the oil and put in new oil, found out why my air bag light is on (Bad fuse) but my brake lights still dont work. I also need new tires but I have been looking for new ones for a while so its not that bad.

I would but it would be to much of a hassle for me and I still need to get the brake lights figured out.

Thanks for digging this build

Well it has been a long time since i really put anything on here but during the winter i dont really have much i want to do with the jeep other than drive it, and my heat doesnt work so thats a bit iffy too,

Anyway I am about to buy 4 Cragar Soft 8 wheels 15x8 4" backspacing with center caps and all new lugnuts from SummitRacing tomorrow, excited to get these crappy tj aluminum wheels off but it looks like maybe another month before i get new tires so i still have to wait. The wheels i have now are also terrible, the one stopped holding air and slowly leaked. Eventually i came out of work one day and the tire was completely flat. So i figured good time to upgrade. Also the tires i get are probably going to be at's because of snow but oh well.
