Took a pic of the tire carrier I finished last night. Later need to make a better license plate relocation bracket, and get a higher mounted third brake light.

made an appointment to get my brakes bled. I've tried ~5 times and can't get all the air out. I read somewhere on here that I need a scan tool to cycle the abs pump on my 99 and confirmed it with my mechanic friend. never taken it, or any of my vehicles to a shop for anything but an inspection. Im a little scared, and a lil mad at jeep for designing brakes that need a scan tool to bleed.

getting really mad at ABS...
1. it crappy
2. I can't ditch it in maine so its D35 for life
3. I have aftermarket flairs, can't find a snorkel that fits abs equiped xj with the flairs
4. apparently have to get ripped off $40 and drive to a shop to bleed the brakes.

ya i did hahaha so i put my 87 cherokee in the garage and moving my 78 j-10 up and moving my 88 waggy behind the j-10 or next to the garage and then selling my 87 mj and moving my 88 xj back behind the 78 and taking my 99 mazda to the shop to put a clutch in
and i drive my 94 ram and 82 j-10


i think the big reason was i had a rolled cherokee by the street for about a month.

Continued stripping parts off of the 87 junker. Hope to be done soon so I can get rid of it and get my 89 home to start the build on it.

Dropped the tank on the 87 junker to remove the fuel pump tp keep as a spare for the 89. The gas has turned into turpentine and the tank and the pump are rusted beyond use. What pisses me off is that I bought that pump and installed it 4 years ago and the damn Jeep has not even been driven since I put it in.

Went out to some property my parents owned on the way home from a golf outing and had a little bit of fun, nothing to extreme because i was the only car and didnt want to get stuck anywhere so we stuck to the old mine roads/used frequently trials..
