Installed a Craigslist-special Currie Correctlync HD TRE & drag link upgrade, a JCR steering box spacer, and a stock steering gearbox (to replace the leaking box). I put the Currie on because, well, I got it for a damn good price. I'm not planning on getting tires bigger than 31" so I didn't see the need to do the Durango upgrade (I like the Jeep's turning radius) or anything more than the spacer to strengthen the box's mounting point. After doing all that, I had an alignment done. The steering feels a whole lot stiffer. Not bad, just different.

Took it down some game lands around my school to explore, was nice and then I hit my hatch on a tree. Thankfully nothing is broken though it seems to not look as sealed around the passenger light but the everything besides that looks the same as before

Took it to get the mail (We have those stupid cluster**** mailboxes), and spent half my time sideways going UP the hill doing 5mph coming back. LOL that was fun! Almost hit a car parked though, so i threw it in 4wd and took off like the snow didn't exist. Damn i love this Jeep!

Oh BTW, it snowed in Colorado again lol. Sorry to the folks who got hit by the nasty blizzard to the east.

Broke the front hose/tube from the air box to the valve cover. I suspect the salt water from my intercept of Sandy is to blame. I taped it up for now, will replace once part is in.

What did you do to your Cherokee today?-forumrunner_20121110_214056.jpg

Got it started after reassembling everything I took out and also got the hood latches lined up nicely and everything shuts.
