Got the first set of parts today, lower gasket set, oil pump, and timing set. May return the timing set and get a double roller after seeing it it looks weak. Also it looks like the oil pump and screen don't fit exact but I can check that against one in stock at my job to make sure. Ordering round 2 of parts next week on payday which will be rings bearings serpentine belt and probably the double roller set

Went and worked on getting the shackle bolt (to frame) out of my 91. Breaker bar worked on it, except the metal sleeve is seized to the bolt and it pushed out the side of the shackle box. When it wouldn't push anymore I cut the bolt head end off. Didn't wanna come out so I'm gonna have to go postal hacking at it next time I get over there.
I also took a crow bar to my 99s suspension. Everything is a bit worn, but the passenger side lca is pretty much loose. WJ lcas will be getting ordered.

Engine: 5.2L V8
Bought my Jeep last Friday, 1997 Grand Cherokee Limited, 5.2L V8
Past couple days,
Spark Plugs
Spark Plug Wires
Distributor Cap
Distributor Rotor
Other minor tid bits.
Today,
Installed a JVC head unit.
Tracked down the parasitic drain, A/C Clutch.
Spent way to long checking wiring to and from A/C Clutch. Finally decided to test relay. That was the cause the entire time.
Soon,
Upper and Lower Radiator Hoses
Tstat
Radiator Cap
Diff Oils/Servicing
Oil Filter and Oil
Attempt to find the issue with the back hatch glass.
Maybe clean the throttle body (not sure if I'm suppose to take it off or leave it on...)
Tighten throttle linkages
Hunt down why my Ebrake doesn't work
Maybe I'll get to my exhaust. Making this weird puttering sound...
