Brake line blew yesterday while I was driving, everything is fine tho. Got that fixed, found out the passenger side hub bearing is bad, replaced the whole hub with a new one, new oil and filter because there wasnt any in it and it had a Fram filter, new air filter for reasons seen below. Snapped a pic of my rear diff, gonna go reference it to that site and see which it is, topped off the rest of the fluids minus the diffs, Ill get to those when the gaskets come in tomorrow, grabbed a valve cover gasket which will go on tomorrow, also I shaved most of the badges cause I wanna start prepping it for paint. Got a lot accomplished I think..

So far Ive replaced the passenger front hub and bearing, air filter, oil and filter, valve cover gasket, CCV/PCV, brake lines and fluid, fixed the drivers window(power, wouldnt roll up), replaced passenger rear tail light housing/lense cause mine was shattered, fixed the exhaust because it was rotted through right in front of the cat(ran straight pipe to a FM40). I think thats about it, oh, I shaved most of the badges and the side molding as well, still looking for two front non power doors to replace mine before I start sanding for paint. Quick picture from the gas station.

New wiper blades and fuel filter cause the old(stock Im assuming) one was rotted and leaking heavily. Found some doors that arent rotted and a steel front bumper with tow hooks and a grill guard, should be picking them up this week/weekend and hopefully Ill get them mounted this weekend too. Come Monday it should look quite different, no rotted doors, steel bumper, no flares and Im probably gonna wire wheel the GC rims and paint the windows.

Looks like a 35 or a 8.25 to me. And that sucks about the line blowing man, glad you got it fixed thought because thats probably the most dangerous line to blow out on your cherokee.

Its a D35 and yea it did suck, it was pretty damn scary too cause there were quite a few cars in front of me and kids on the side walk waiting for buses ect.. Could have been bad.

Well for the future just make sure you check all of your brake lines and make sure your e-brake is working, on a side note it looks like your 35 still has the tag on it, do you have the trac-lok?
