Well I switched over my front winch bumper from my old 96 cherokee classic to my new 99 cherokee classic. And installed my new Smittybilt X2O 10,000 winch.

I drove it to my mechanic, so he could change both my hub bearings, fix my calipers (one was sticking) and install my heavy duty diff. covers. I'm pretty much ready to hit some trails now.

Same except I took mine to the muffler shop to have them install my flowmaster 44 because I do not own a welder and do not know how to weld

This is an honest family owned shop. All they do is mufflers and they do a great job. They let you come under the lift to inspect it yourself and don't tell you that you need to buy this or that for your vehicle. They charged me $40 so fair price too. Took them about 30 minutes total and that includes 10 minutes of waiting for my jeeps turn

Some are straight up. But from the things ive seen happen at shops, people would be mortified how there vehicles get treated. But there are good honest shops out there, somewhere! Lol.
