Over the weekend I did my brakes, an oil change, and did most of the wire cleanup where the dash was.

I will post pics this afternoon. My rotors were paper thin on one side.

Ended up in Weyauwega, WI instead of Montello. But the Cherokee still made it the 2 hours there and two back. No problems.

Awhile ago some comedian gave me a hard time about how rough my interior looks. I agree, it did look a bit rough, but there is a method to my madness.

Its not much, but I got all the factory wires sorted, labeled, wrapped and tucked. At least I wont trip on anything that's dangling.

I also started running the dome lights into the passenger side A pillar as the pic shows. Figured I will want those lights eventually, so I decided to give them some protection by hiding them.

Nope. Easily compressed and functions flawlessly.

And I try to never exaggerate, even though some stuff I say sounds unbelievable. I mean what I say, and I meant paper thin!!
