Yeah Goo Gone works awesome. I just didn't feel like scraping so I'm using my reciprocating sanders to get the bulk of it off and then removing the residual with the Goo Gone. I'll follow it up with a denatured alcohol wipe down and then primer and paint (the paint under the trim on the doors is white, the paint under the trim on the fenders and quarters is silver) so that it is all silver again.

Good that you had 2 sets lol. Pop the black housing in the oven at 150 degrees for 5 minutes, the lens should fall right off.

1 - Drive to Walmart for car cleaning products.
2 - Power Wash entire DD Cherokee, top to bottom.
3 - Hand wash, and wet sand.
4 - Begin to dry.
5 - Syke!! Random WTF Florida shower ftl.
6 - Put in garage, re-dry.

Gonna let it all cool off, then vac and inside detail, then wax, and do some odds & ends.

Default Changing a head gasket

Working on re-installing the head for a motor that I am putting in my XJ to replace the original one that has 246000 miles, a blown head gasket, and a worn main seal.
Hopefully doing the engine swap this weekend.

Pulled out a 4wd S10 extended cab on 33s in some deep ruts full of soupy mud I've got 30x9.50s all terrain and didn't think I'd get to him but crawled to him in 2 high and then around him with no problem then pulled him out and went through his ruts and drove home never spun a tire. First time in the mud with my jeep and very very impressed
