What did you do to your Cherokee today?
I had to Jeep cut off on me, almost hit a car and had to run off the road, Tried to restart and it wouldnt run worth a **** and then the wiring harness caught fire... Got it running again and up on a trailer, Fun Times, It was also like 20 degrees
Took it into the dealer! The PO sold the rig thinking that the engine was about to fall apart. Thankfully, I got the vin off her before I took a look at it and saw that she hadn't cashed in the Cat recall yet. I'll be getting it back tomorrow and it will have a purr the PO hadn't heard on that thing for years.

Mine is a 96. Go here: http://www.jeep.com/webselfservice/j...ilForm(%27R%27) and put in the last 8 of your vin to see if you have any incomplete recalls.

umm where is the vin # ??
Well, first I was replacing a bulb under the dash, but I blew a fuse. Replaced the fuse. Then while going to get food, I blew a tire!
Nobody was able to help me and I wasn't far from home, so I drove home (about 25 mph for 3 miles). The jack couldn't jack it up high enough to lift the wheel off the ground. My tire is now completely destroyed (I just hope I didn't bend the rim, I love my wheels!). Tonight just wasn't my night.
Here's what it looked like when I got home:

I gave final maintenance advice to my wife and kids, about Jesse, our '95 Cherokee.
I leave for Afghanistan for a year today. After I get home, I'm completely cutting this thing up and making something crazy out of it.

Good tip, just put my VIN in, and I have the same Incompete recall. Guess I'm taken her to the dealer next week.



A full day without my jeep!
