Finally bit the bullit and had the cat taken out and replaced it with a 2 1/2inch piping it's not to much louder and cab noise didnt go up......Although for some reason it seems like i might have lost a little bit of low end but who knows.......

Finally got the new tierod end I needed to fix my adjustable track bar. I put that in, adjusted it, torqued it and greased the front end.Much Much better.

How did you do that so you didn't throw a code for the sensor in the Cat?

Took my new ride to the detail shop to have the seats, carpets, headliner, ect steam cleaned. It was sad what it looked like after a dealer trade-in, auction, and used dealer purchase. Everything is in good shape, it was just nasty.

The shop I took it to only charged me $75 to shampoo seats, carpets, clean all the trim and wash the outside. Now I feel better about the purchase.

Oh, and for that price they picked-up and delivered.

Bought it. Drilled and threaded motor mount. Easy-outted 2 bolts. Fabricated a bracket for the motor mount. Built a cold air intake. Replaced the distributor.

All I can do now is work on hooking up my amp and subs.

After I get the funds around I am putting in 3" of body lift (already has 4" suspension). Fabricating some half doors for when I take it to Silver Lake. Getting some 33's. Cat-back exhaust. Pretty much just that for now.

nice list, however the Jeep Cherokee is unique with it's integrated frame/body. The uniframe which is the body of the car is all one piece.

am i wrong?

If it's an XJ, a body lift will be difficult. XJ’s are unibodys.
