I know thank you, he did alot to it already! Clear corners and markers, rebedlinered the roof, and pulled the ribbed moulding and bedlinered that, and he got a cold air intake....pictures below....I am VERY HAPPY SO FAR!
We also had to replace the valve cover gasket AGAIN, with a rubber one because the cork SUCKS!

Yea, the best gaskets are the Felpro gaskets with the metal inside and blue rubber outside. The Cold Air Intake looks nice. I love the sound when I floor it in mine. All you hear is the deep throaty sound of the CAI sucking in air. What's next on your to do list?

Yes that is the one that is on there now! So far so good!
Next is get the tires on there, and some TINT!!!!!! There are also some minor things that need replacing when we get around to it, and we think we may have fixed my water leak but if not then maybe a windsheild....

So as some of you know, my g/f (Miss POPO) and I purchased a 91 cherokee. It has 161,000 miles on it and is mechanically sound.
It appears the previous owner has replaced all of the shocks etc, however the rear sags. It has 17" wheels on it with low profile tires. I want to replace the tires with something a lil meatier (I know 17s will be expensive)
Either way, I dont think I can get alot under the rear end right now. Im wondering if there is an easy or simple fix to the rear sagging issue. ( a lift to the entire jeep is not an option right now, till I convince her).
Can I do an add-a-leaf to raise the *** end up? I need about 2 inches to level out the jeep, or maybe a lil less. I would like the vehicle level or slightly raked.
ANy advice asap would be greatly appreciated... thanks in advance...
FYI with all that we went over on the jeep, we never checked to see if it was lowered or if its just sagging...

Guess I will just use this thread as an UPDATE/BUILD thread.
We worked on finding and fixing the water leaks today, we will see how our ghetto fabrication worked next time it rains.
Just waiting for those tires and I will post more pics! They are due to be delivered on the 30th!!!!!
