It is. It's a Go Pro. I just duct taped it but now I can't get the residue off haha. Shoots 1080p and a lot of other settings. Really awesome. I definitely recommend em.

Goo Gone or lighter fluid should take that residue right off!

I tried goo gone for my side trim. didn't work at allllll! I found some stuff at Advance Auto that took it right off. Turtle wax sticker and adhesive remover. Just make sure you follow the directions and let it soak in for a minute before you try and remove the stuff it leaves behind. Works way better than just spraying it on and immediately trying to rub it off.

Good luck though, XJ's look so much better w/o that trim!

Bring back this thread from the dead.

luckyAD80's Cherokee sure has grown over the past almost year! This thing is actually starting to look offroad capable!

Ever since he asked for help lifting it we've since become really good friends, showing that the Jeep community really does bring people together and can create awesome friendships. Also Small word!

Since the lats update, it has:

Front Tow Hooks
Custom Front Bumper
Trimmed Fenders around
Lights on the A/B Pillars
and a new non bent CB spring

The problem that has been stumping the both of us is there is a clunk when turning the wheel to the left and then back. It only happens when the wheels are on the ground, if there no weight on the wheels then clunk doesn't happen. I use to have a video of the clunk but have since misplaced it.

Any help could would be greatly appreciated.

Under the drivers side motor mount bracket that are 2 bolts that go into the frame rail horizontally, 19mm IIRC, tighten them....a lot.

Not the track bar bolts, but you should check those as well.

Haha, love ya dude. Really goes to show the Jeep community is an awesome one. Yes, lots to update, and when I go offroading next, I'll take pictures and post them here. Yeah my clunk is weird, gettin' it checked out by my uncle's mechanic soon.

And Frank, thanks for responding too! Good to hear from ya.

On another note, will these: CLICK ME work with my 2" rear hitch receiver I got off Craigslist? It doesn't look like they'll line up exactly, but maybe 3/4 on each side? Is this all I would need?luckyAD80's 2001 Sienna Pearl XJ-photo-2-3.jpg
