Default Overheating issue '93 country...

want to share this... recently I posted the valve cover gasket change... big improvement... B4 that ... new brass/copper radiator.. 190 stat also... when I got it there was not a stat... /// blower motor quit... only ran on high.. a/c was good and cold... I wired the climate control panel (below the radio) according to factory spec... the wires were on and loose... the PO took off the wiring harness/connector.. found connectors at the junk yard were melted.... long story short... the a/c is now getting colder faster.. I have all of the speeds for blower motor. AND.. the overheating issue is gone like yesterday... even when idling ....the temp needle stays just a bit to the right of center... I think Im onto something ... w/the overheating issue

Took advantage of the flash floods from the monsoon season. Went mudding!! Then went to start her up this morning and noticed my headlights aren't working....both low and high beams do not work but running lights and turn signals work. Wonder what gives? Fuses? Wiring harness? I do have an aftermarket hid kit but will have to check it out after I get some sleep

Gah it has the wrong plug on it, and the "warranty void if removed" sticker is over the part number.

Going to see if it bolts up. If it does, snip and solder followed by some feedback on ebay

Yesterday, started grinding down the bushings on the WJ control arms to fit my XJ. Getting there. I also, measured my TB, measured my exhaust where it meets the cat, the downpipe wasn't stock, someone put in a 2.5" downpipe, so its 2.5" until after the cat. Sweet! Will make doing my exhaust easier.

Also found a new big *** hole on the passenger side floor pan, not good.

Oh and I ordered some drill bits for drill out the upper shock bolts, and door check pins so my girlfriend can stop getting her leg smashed by the door lol.

Default Removable door mod

Last night i decided to try my had at the removable door mod on my 87 XJ. Happy to say it went great. got the 2 front doors done in about an hour and a half and they actually shut better than they did. Looks pretty cool too.

In the long run im planning on picking up some extra doors and making half doors that i can easily interchange.

They are just the stock leather seats that came in the Cherokee Limited. They are pretty comfy but starting to fall apart.
