Default rear leaf install and replaced starter.

I installed new leaf packs in the back and replaced a dieing starter today.
Back at the correct ride height and starting like a champ now!

So my current alternator is COMPLETELY DEAD!!! So i tried to get my spare off my other Cherokee. Yea that failed. Broke the leads on the back. So now I dont have ground and who knows what else on the other alternator. Im sure you can get it fixed... But I found a good deal on a 134A alt so ima just do IT RIGHT SON!

Oh and I pulled some stuff to sell on ebay. So far. Intake manifold. The stock 97 computer. 97 Air bags and mod. And a switch thingy. Hopin to get some other stuff off there soon. Any suggestions as what else to pull?

Drove mine to the local pick and pull. Scored a bunch of goodies.

Finally found some nice 2 door seats, also robbed the "racer back" style headrests off an older XJ-$68 for the pair

Found a unmolested lower dash panel without the crotch vent-$8.25

Kick and sill panels-$4.50

Perfectly good overhead soundbar-$4.50

Factory clock-$3.50

Various small trim pieces-¢.75

Also scored a 89-90 Limited grill with factory fogs......didn't realize until I got home that it didn't fit. Its about 2-3 inches too wide. So tomorrow I'll section them center out and make it work

All in all, it was a good day at the junkyard. Just wish I could have gotten those front and rear vent windows out. Ima try again next weekend.
