Got a front end alignment job done to correct the geometry change caused by lifting it. Steering wheel sits 'straight' now instead of turned to the right 90 degrees. Everything else checked okay, thank goodness.

Starting the process of T-Max winch solenoid relocation (see that thread):

Tomorrow: rear bumper & Reese hitch removal.

YUP.
As soon as you say CHEROKEE...Its an XJ

XJ is Jeeps model designation
Like TJ, CJ, ZJ. YJ

Model designation...not specialty sub-model

Sub-model examples:
Laredo
Sport
Country
Classic
POS

Whoops...scratch that last one.

I went to the junkyard and got me some Tow Hook Brackets, Tow Hooks, Bumper, Bumper Brackets, and all the nuts & bolts.
Lucky me!
First junkyard, the first XJ I found...complete unmolested front end.

Decided since I have not changed the diff oil on my xj in 210K miles to change it - was still in amazing shape - could not find a spec of metal in the oil - looked brand new - love my mobil 1

Howler you have hurt my feelings b/c you left Limited off your list(my junk) as well as Pioneer. On the other list you left off WJ, SJ and MJ.

Well.... I bought it, changed the oil, flushed the radiator and replaced the wrecked old bumper with an aftermarket unit. Plus I drove around to get an idea of how it drives.

Calm down there Blue. Those were mere EXAMPLES. Not to be confused with a comprehensive model/sub-model list.

Cut me some slack...I did ALOT of work on Lil Red today.
Don't believe me, check Lil Red's Build thread.

BTW: I have one more update from late afternoon to post there.
