Here's what I got done I the last few days, nothin to major.

Got my rear mirror glued back on after the sun dried out the old glue.
Also got two cheesy cup holders in the cargo area for nights of outside working or chilln back there
Also got my GC shift **** on but I don't think it's gonna last long I might just switch it back.
I also did a mobil 1 high mileage 10w-30 oil change with an m1-301 high capacity filter after I ran sea foam in my oil for 150 miles. She's runs so smooth now.

God bless seafoam and all it's glory

Love to see pics!

A pic for you.
Also today I painted my rockers flat black since they were rock rash and chipped pretty bad and surface rust behind the wheels (rear quarter panels too from the same body line down)
Painting the fender flares and maybe rear bumper in flat black tomorrow.

Today I fixed my driver side sagging seat!!! LOL

I ended up raiding the junkyard til I found a pretty easy to unbolt seat out of an older cherokee, leather interior hahaha! (ripped though.. I thought about it ) anyways, I ended up switching my passenger side one to my driver side because I knew there was no damage and ended up pulling the old driver cushion out and installing the junkyard one. So now I have good driver seat for $9.00 I would post picture but my gf got my camera. The sagging side by the door had a crack in the metal from top to bottom and the foam completely shredded. So...

Wiper pulse board fixed(loose connector), Driver side seat fixed, Gears are next!!!!

Then the transmission when it dies. (Reverse syncronizer acts up A LOT when the transmission get hot...

....then tires, then 6.5" lift. (I decided I'ma keep the rear end til i break it so I'm goin to 33's until I break the rear end then 8.8..and 35's.. 4.10s should be enough for it, but hell if ima do the rear end might as well go to 4.56's for 35's right!?!?
