Put on my front skid plate from tannerp98 that was a pain in the ***. Ditched the rear sway bar, and put in my new 1000 watt JBL sub.

The sub is 250 rms idk about the amp its a 340 watt 4 channel. I got a 1000 watt 2 channel that I could put between 500-750rms to the sub. Just gotta get it back from my buddy.

Yanked the springs out of my door locks so I can lock up my **** again. Also installed some fog lights I got from my friends dad. Just some cheap ones but there bright. I wired them to the factory fog light switch, and the little amber light even comes on when you turn the switch on. I wired it to the ignition to so I can't kill my battery. I think they look pretty good and definatly help seeing. I need to upgrade my alternator now though with the amp, and fog lights. I'll try and get some better pictures tomorrow.

Installed some red neons for ****z and giggles. Look pretty cool.

Got some switches for my neon and radiator fan mod. Replaced some light bulbs, and replaced the fog light/ defrost switch. Also replaced the wiper/ trans switch because it was busted.

Went out to the junkyard and found an overhead console in a 92? limited. Snagged that but need to go back for the sun visors, and temp sensor. Its up right now with the dome lights working. Its tan and my interiors gray but I like the look. Also put my cup holder back in.

Went back out to the junk yard. Got a new shifter handle, and shift indicator piece out of a newer Cherokee. It has the fan type thing instead of the long piece of plastic. Also got the stereo bracket so my stereos secure. Put some GT badges on it for more power. Adjusted the kick down cable, and got an antenna topper that looks like Wilson the volleyball from the movie Cast Away.

So here are some pictures of my progress from yesterday. Note the newer shifter bezel doesn't quite lock right. The bottom left clip doesn't line up. I like the look better then the old one. Another note the stock radio bracket should fit on most aftermarket stereos. You just have to find what holes line up right. And don't use long screws and destroy your stereo.

So I'm pretty sure i need a new window switch panel on the drivers door. All the windows work on all the switches but the drivers window. I'm picking one up today. So for now this is what my door looks like.

Put on my new side view mirrors my old ones were toast. Their power mirrors but I can just push the mirror around to adjust. Plus the inside looks cleaner not having the adjustment handle sticking out. On a side note don't remember when I did this within the last month but washed my front door panels still need to do the rest.
I cleaned them up what a difference
Much Better
Old Vs. new
