that's the truth!

 

didn't start off as a daily driver (as i wasn't sure on it's reliability to go long distances when i first bought it), but after rebuilding most of the rotating / wearing parts i drive it daily now (plus i like the looks people give me when i'm in it vs when i'm drivin the fj, & the thumbs up!)

 

so i decided to beef up the rear some with a tomken gas tank skid plate. installation was easy bolt on

 

also trimmed up the rear wells and finally put together my roof rack with the recovery equipment & spare tire

 

so earlier in the week i ended up replacing the valve cover and also did the oilpan gasket & rear main seal while i was gettin oily. everything went fairly smooth, just got messy

haven't had a drop of oil for a while now, so that's great

 

So now I should be ready for the texas Spur Jeep jamboree we'll see how well that new rear set up works out on the rocks

 

That looks incredible....smoking hot!!!'. I'm going to have trim my fender wells, I'm still rubbing

 

if u need help, i've done it once now, so i may be able to help

 

Thanks Chex_Mex, It may turn out you are needed for that, I'll let ya know. If not needed for that, perhaps moral support.

 

sweet lookin rig!

 

Chex Mex your Cherokee is sick! Adding this one to the inspiration file man. Dig it

 

@Luv2Mud, I can definitely give some moral support!

Thanks 88jeepcherokeexj and Cherokee144

Got some bad news though, made it up to Llano for the Texas Spur, did great the first half of the day, then busted something having to do with the rear output on the np242 as now I can only drive the Jeep in part time......was able to limp back to camp with front wheel drive. I'll have to take it apart once I get back to Houston.

 

Here some shots before I busted
