I love the clean look, debadged mine as well, except for the 'Cherokee Sport'. I like the front end and rear w/o the Jeep badge.

Cruise servo, clock spring, and switches. Took about an hour to install.

I really need to do this - so many times I've wished I had cruise control.

I highly recommend it. It was surprisingly very easy and inexpensive to do. Before installing cruise, I had never even worked on a vehicle before.

eBay. Search for Depo lenses. They are the actual clear ones and not the chrome mirror style.

Massive oil leak

Discovered most of my oil was on my driveway a few days ago. She went off to the shop for a new rms, new oil pump, gaskets, o-rings, etc. I also had them reinstall the oil filter adapter which was removed by the PO.
