Most likely by the same people who have your mind set. I have nothing against any Cherokee but atleast a wrangler has a full frame to work with that doesn't require stiffeners and can handle a v8 swap

Just did new wipers all around to celebrate getting the rear wiper+sprayer working (needed them anyway), new brighter headlights to replace the pitted, corroded ones that I bought it with, new gas struts for the liftgate so it stops whacking me in the head, and I've banged out the dent that the girlfriend put into the liftgate when I was teaching her to drive stick. Spot glazing is drying now, I'll save the sanding and painting for tomorrow.

Nice, the clean valve cover looks hilarious amidst the sea of mud and dust. Which Fel-Pro gasket is that exactly? The one I picked up on Friday has the steel core and grommets but the rubber/silicone is black, not blue like I've seen. I think it's labelled "Perma-Dry"?
