I changed my tailgate and rear window hydraulic struts and it took all of half an hour to do all four.

I should say I bought the new ones from a company in the States (I live in Portugal) via e-bay and their service was second to none. They sent me 3 separate emails to tell me what's going on with my shipment and even a video of how to change them just in case I didn't know.

So I can highly recommend www.liftsupportsdepot.com.

I did a ZJ tie Rod, Changed the fluid in the front diff, and rear shaft u joints.

While I had the cover off I ground 15 years of rust and dirt off it and had my girlfriend paint it.




Oh and while I was at it I smoked 2 racks of spare ribs.

At the very least, the ribs look good...

I have PROOF my Jeep did 21.something MPG, and it's a '92 owned by a lead-footed Teenager. So it is very possible.

EDIT: Good ol' Cherokee forum opening the wrong page.

Pulled the sensors of the TB to send it back as a core for my 63mm. Also wheeled it this weekend! Blessing of the Jeeps and Twisted Trails with Michigan Jeepers!

Wrecked mine today. Hit a tree on a trail, only going a little over 5 mph. Destroyed the front bumper, and my new radiator made contact with the fan, bending a couple fan blades, and tore up the radiator.

Oil pressure sending unit, replaced fresh air and pvc connections at the valve cover.
Had to chisel the grommets off they were so hard.

Nice to have accurate oil pressure and that MAY be the last of the leaks.
