Picked up a donor Jeep today. The frames bent but the motor runs solid. Looks like I will have the 2dr ready for winter. Now to remember what wires to connect on the nss harness for a manual. Added bonus, extra parts.

I will not post it here, but you know who you are. And I wish they had left it in. It was VERY funny!!! Glad I got the email, still laughing. CLEVER!
Yeah. I was asked to remove it.

They do not come with the door checks. As I mentioned I only realized there are some in there when I did the passenger front. Seemed like a good idea to keep the door check arm straight so I found something to replace the ones I was missing. Thinking if the arm stays straighter maybe it will help from keeping the hole in the bracket or arm in the door check from wallowing out quicker.

Thanks. Uh, no stripe removal. That’s my ‘91 you’re thinking of. I know, yes I have three of them. These things multiply like motorcycles!

An explanation: the ‘89 is my toy, the ‘91 is my summer DD, and because I live in MA when I’m working the ‘96 is my winter DD.

Powerwashed under the Jeep today in preparation for Fluid Film. Just have to blow it off as best I can so it will be dry for tomorrow.

Prob. The frames bent but to whoever buys it when I'm done can figure that out. Plus, as a bigger guy, I'd rather have my 2dr over a 4dr.

Default Pulling codes!

Today I learned how-to pull codes in my 'new to me 93' Grand Cherokee!
12-Battery terminal boo-boos
23-AIT is funky..... hard to start her up when she's cold.
1) stock air box g.o.n.e
2) K. and N.cone filter in place....Its ugly , real fugly, so tomorrow it goes Buhbye...
3) Broken off twig is holding drivers headlight in place...

My new to me 93 Grand Cherokee! She needs sum love and attention to make her look and run a little better. $350 for this Beauty!
