Busy day. All I have for now lol
I'm going to do the detour light brackets too, they look sweet. What do you plan to wire the lights into?

They have their own switch and circuit for now. I will probably tie them into the hi beam or parking light circuit later this week.

Default Can't keep a good Cherokee down!

The Peep's eaten enough venison for one week. Some tugging today and a few dozen well placed tough love taps with the sledge: she's clear of the tire, battened down, and ready to roll. Replaced some injured trim from the donor, some new bolts, a dollop of touch up brush. That's why I love white and black and when your already rough around the edges, it doesn't have to be perfect to be a match.

Yesterday I went to get some work done.

I got my 91 filled up with oil put a filer on it. Filled up the trans fluid. Went to start it... nothing. Charged the battery up for a few hours while I got the shift gate out of my parts jeep.

After I ate lunch came back and the battery got a charge. Fired right up. Then died. Then fired right up and ran fine. Discovered a leak from OFA snugged it down since I had it removed when doing the Brown Dogs and it went away.

Let it get up to temp, judging by the heat at least because I discovered temp gauge has given up.

Then I worked on getting the no lift shackle brackets in. Got the holes thru the floor drilled, on the last part of it the drill got caught on a piece spun and knocked out of my hands and the bit caught me in the face. Just a scratch though.
