Ghetto Drop Stop...holds a Mini Maglite. Saved $19 by using a pool noodle from the dollar store.

Almost changed my PCV valve. Vacuum hose is nice and crunchy too. Guess I'll be getting a new grommet and hose as well.

Keep extra bulbs. When those bulbs get wet they tend to blow.

Pop about 8 clips, unscrew the speaker and pull it out, reach into the door and grab the old door check.
Getting the old one out was easy, as it was in pieces anyway. Putting one back in was a pain. I finally put a string on a nut, dropped it through the slot, tied it to the hole on the check and pulled it up.

My Cherokee has gotten some love the past few days:

Wednesday: Sway bar links
Thursday: Washed her!
Friday: New windshield
Saturday: Cleaned the throttle body and installed new TPS
Monday: Spark plugs
Tuesday: Oil change. I'm now a Rotella user..we'll see how she likes it.

The jeep likes the attention, but my wallet doesn't.

^^^ That's just about how I imagined 4" of lift on trimmed fenders would look on 33s, a little more wheel well gap actually. Our body lines match where the 33s I test fitted went with stock flares, going 35s! This actually has helped lol. Does that count as something I did?

Worked on the front suspension some more. It's been fighting with me but hopefully it'll be done sooner than later!

Camero ... WTF?
- did it work?
- how was the ride?
Not necessarily a bad idea, but probably the wrong size & or locating of the parts (maybe the shock towers would work better -- closer to 4.5" lift instead of 10"?)


as for me - pissed off at the whole TPS / throttle system that makes it speed up & slow down without moving the gas peddle !!! !@#$
