Ordered right and left quarter panels and a HD Rock Krawler tie rod since the PO added some extra clearance with a jack on the stock one. It is bent up a good 4-6 inches amazingly it drove well and didn't burn the front tires off when I brought it home

That was only the final problem to get it started, had tons of problems up until now but it goes with the territory I guess

Ordered a JKS track bar this morning because it looked like I needed it. Went and got the front put back together. Looks good. Rides about the same except takes bumps nicer. Didn't get the WJ control arms in but I think those will help too. My axle is centered nicely with the jeep so I tried to cancel my JKS track bar order having issues with that. Better than jeep issues.

Took a screw outta the tire and did a quick plug. Damn destinations are thick. Hold a screw well and keep air in. Drove probably 120 miles on that.



What did you do to your Cherokee today?-forumrunner_20140821_223443.png


Also bled the rear brakes via gravity. Crazy how dark used fluid is lol. Wanted to do the fronts also but passenger bleeder was frozen and i had other stuff to do so ill revisit those this weekend. Gotta say though, bleeding rear calipers suck with leafs lol

Try the MTs. I pulled out a 2" screw from one of my tread blocks and kept driving

I was thinking about upgrading to their MTs when o get new tires. Wasn't sure how the lack of sipping affect wet road driving.
