Beefed up my roof rack. The bars that came wih it were like 1/1000" thick (see pic). Dumb. Had local fab shop order me some rectangle stock. 1/8" thick wall. I can jump up and down on it now. Reconfigured gutter brackets with a hammer to allow for larger diameter bars. Nailed it down with some tek screws. No trail tree can defeat me now!!!

I started with mirrorless visors, I went to the junk yard today with my dad mainly to get a strut and shock for his malibu. While there, I looked for a cherokee.. none.

Then i seen a 97 Grand Cherokee, the visors seemed the same size... so i put them and installed them. I didn't hook up the lights but, its a better look now.

Really wish there was a way to install the over head compartment and wire it in from a grand Cherokee.

Took out my center console and soaked each piece in hot soapy water. hosed em down, wiped em off, scraped gunk out of the tight spots with a toothpick. Popped em all back in and my front seat area looks new!

Go for it. Just drive slow around turns if you haven't driven without one before. Once you're use to it youll get some serious flex

My kid brother slammed a box cutter from my job into his wrist. I performed emergency 1st aid and took him to the ER to get it stitched up. Thanks for the memory!

Oh, and what I did today: I gassed up and took him to the car wash!

I could. If you think about it, the things you do with your Jeep are kinda like the things you do with you best bud.
