Alright so as you can tell im pissed. 
Working on taking off my rear hitch off my other cherokee to put on my nice cherokee. First thing that happens is i get all 4 bolts out and then boom! Damn thing falls down onto my chest. Thats a lot of weight falling + 50-60lbs!!!
After that i find out it has a nut strip! sweet! Hell no it cant be easy to get out off comes the rear bumper! get 3 bolts out... Damn thing is hard to get off! so i slam the rachet against the bumper a freakin cloud of ancient dirt and mud all over me great!!
Any easier way to get this bumper off?? Also i took the gas tank skid off and i am not putting it back on it! its for sale!

The rear bumper bolts (well both bumpers, really) are in such a crappy place. It takes 5 minutes on each side of ratchet-ing, and each turn you make with the ratchet turns the nut like 1/10th of a spin. It takes a while, but there's no other way -___-

I find throwing my tools out the garage and into the street to be very theraputic - especially if the nasty busybody mongoloid woman across the street is out walking her two rats.
