I had a machine shop change my axle shaft joints for $40. I capable of doing it, doesn't mean I want to do it lol.

I do the driveshaft ones myself.

I'm not sure on this, but I think that's a sign of a busted TRE. I went through 5 or six zjs till I found one that didn't rotate. I couldn't get the nut off if it did.

Took my my factory air dam, trimmed my flares, and aligned the wheels. Was a good day even if it was raining

Started install on the Napier Precision flares, got the front 2 done today and 1 of the rear. Will do the other rear in the morning. Too dark to take a pic of the rear, but here's the front. What did you do to your Cherokee today?-image-1800798661.jpg

Just finished a gas tank repair (no more liquid gold leaking out) and an interior back floors scuff and repaint (part of the pooch compartment service upgrade).
Next we had a bit of winter weather, and then the ice arrived. It's raining tree branches all over.
To tell the truth I've run the WJ for the last 3 days. (Gettin soft in my old age).
Was a Christmas treat to get hydro back today.
The holidays start.
The Peep is planned for a front busted axle fix starting boxing day. Replacing the universals on both sides while it's apart. Merry Christmas to all!
