Um havent lifted yet. I have a 2 in BB spring spacer kit, got it off someone off the forum for 50 bucks I think. It doesnt have shocks, just the spacers. Havent had a chance to put them on because something keeps coming up, like this next post.

Well I wasnt kidding when I said that this jeeps been an emotional roller coaster. So I went and picked up a wiper motor and assembly today since my wipers quit working, was pretty excited to have wipers since I havent had them in a cpl months. Did all the work and put the assembly in all for nothing. They still dont work, now I need to replace the switch.

Also went to go to work, radiators leaking somewhere a hefty amount of antifreeze... I just replaced the radiator like 2 months ago... they keep cracking. Idk why. It didnt overheat. So now I have to figure that out =/

Well woke up and decided to see what was wrong with the radiator hoping for the best but thinking the worst I climbed underneath and couldnt see where it was leaking, took my air box out and found that the fitting for the tranny line was leaking . Tightened it up and hopefully itll be all good. Boy was I relieved!

I have to learn about tire measurements, I dont know what a 265/75/16 means... I know the 16 is rim. I know 31 is ht and 10.5 is width

So I used this sandpaper pad from my headlight restoration kit got it wet and the scuffs came right off, I need a little bit of wax and to buff out the spots.

And this is the leftover paint I used to paint my trim... I dont recommend it at all. Ive had to touch up over and over, it scuffs off but I used it to just get rid of the scuffs on the bumpers.

Didnt feel like taping anything off, used this as my overspray shield.

Just have to find a day I have off so I can take the front fender off and see if I can knock the dent out. How hard is it to take the fender off? And that hole is gonna have to stay, I dont know how to fix that either.

That sux man! I have the 96 cherokee service manual that covers body parts. If you want we could meet up and you could check it out. Im pretty sure its close to the same steps. From my understanding its a few bolts and then removing some plastic pieces
