I replaced the bent OEM tie rod. It was a victim of last weekends 4wheeling trip. It was the first trip out with the new front locker. It didn't survive too well. I made a new Homebrew beefed-up version out of a replacement stock tie rod. I will have a write with pics in the Cherokee Write Ups section, later on today.

dropped mine off BECAUSE my insurance company says "you need an antitheft device installed in your Cherokee" I have had it a week, driven it 3 times and off to the shop for something I do not want installed. I know, people steal these because they are like them. RIGHT! Stumper...when back it's getting a full fluid change, diffs,engine,trans,transfer case,coolant. then gonna clean the intake, IAC,TPS. make sure it's ready for the next 100,000 kms....Stumper

What insurance do you have that requires an immobilizer? I wouldn't mind having one. I would also like to get a locator device in case it is taken. Paranoia really gets you when you love something, lol.

I put some complete fuel system cleaner in it yesterday and noticed it drives smoother today.

I am in Canada, Winnipeg, Manitoba to be exact. MPIC is our insurance, they make the rules and there is no private car insurance that you can get. this is a goverment run company, they do not want any competition. it sucks in some ways, but better in others. should have the Jeep back for mid week, no big deal, but i miss it not sitting in our garage....Stumper.
