So here is my 91 cherokee, haven't done much to it yet, but I have started. It is a 91 Laredo with 192k miles, runs good for it's age...

My plans are to add a 3 inch lift and 31" mickey thompson baja MTZ's, rusty's offroad has a package deal to get both for $1500. (http://rustysoffroad.com/mm5/merchan..._Code=WHEELS10)

I am also planning on replacing the front bumper with the Rough Country XJ bumper and an 8000lb winch. (http://www.roughcountry.com/jeep-xj-...mper_1057.html)

So been doing some general tic to the jeep. I have been getting gosh awful mpgs (13, and I'm driving like granny), so i set out to try and fix the problem. This past weekend I did a tune up and an oil change. No luck. So I just replaced the thermostat (it was stuck open, running cold) and hopefully it will gain me some mileage. I am thinking it was running rich because it was trying to warm up the engine. Anyway, here's just a little pic I took to show it off, lol.

Ok, so I had a strange occurrence while driving today. My jeep has been running great, and the mpgs have greatly improved. But while sitting at a stoplight my jeep randomly shut off. It started right back up and drove fine, but it concerned me. I'm thinking the cps, any ideas?

I just finished battling that problem. Would be sitting at idle, die...60 mph...die....along the way had a voltage issue, so a new battery, alternator, crank sensor, plugs, battery cables, cleaned up all the grounds...purrs like a kitten now. I am going to do an external voltage regulator, so if I ever have issues I won't need to replace entire ecm. Awesome build so far, keep up the good work

very clean looking jeep you got there..looks exactly like mine but mine is black instead of gray on the bottom

Thanks for the positive comments guys! I really don't know what happened that caused it to shut off. I am thinking something just got hot, cause before I replaced the thermostat the hottest it would run was about 160. Hasn't done it again though and I put about 60 miles on it today. I did go from 13 in the city to 17 though, so I am very happy. Waiting to sell my old mustang to fund my lift and tires.

I found out a few days ago that the guy I bought the jeep off of never drove it, his daughter did. She quit driving it because it would die occasionally. He drove it to work after a wreck he was in, and he drove it for 3 weeks...never died. I drove it for over a month before it started dying on me. It's an easy enough change, and I bought one for $12 off ebay...part number crosses to a dorman, which you could get advance or oreilly

That pic of yer antenna looks like u have a tiny stop sign mounted to the top of the antenna!

jsmith823

Haha, no its a firestik with a red tip. The jeep has been running good, hasn't Shut off again so I'm happy. Still waiting on the funds for the lift...

Has a super 44 and no cat now. The old one was shot and they chopped it for free and it would have been 200 for a new one. Will upload video soon.
