What did you do to your Cherokee today?
Hey,don't apologize it's a sign of weakness. LOL Nothing wrong with a little ribbing to brighten things up. Actually I've been putting this off for too long. Now I'll just redo the whole system.
I managed to rip my passenger side mirror off this weekend. Back when I hit the junkyard to find a rear hatch to replace the one I broke I picked up a new mirror as well, since the one I had couldn't be adjusted with the funky mechanical cable mechanism anymore. I put the JY one on today.
Got my alpha scan tool for Renix jeeps from nick today (NickInTimeFilms) Plugged in it and played with it for a bit. Then it started to rain so I had to come inside.

My suspension overhaul has begun!


One spring is all I got done unfortunately. Baby steps man, baby steps... This is my first lift so it's a learning experience.

SHOTS FIRED!!!!Heck yeah! There'd hardly be any reason to leave. EVER!
Awesome!!!!Not in the South Florida traffic you wouldn't. I barely got that in a 2.2 liter s10 w/ a 5 spd in that traffic. It's brutal.
Because what I did was install my NEW alternator and XJWONDERS cables!!!!





Also ditched the K&N FIPK in lieu of the factory airbox. Cowl snorkle forthcometh. AND I put in a newer fan clutch which I'm now regretting because I SHATTERED my new fan shroud trying to get it in past the tines on the clutch housing

The one I noticed is the one welded to the pipe and connects into a bracket on the frame. Considering the amount of rust on that pipe, broken connector, and muffler. I'm thinking of replacing it all(not the manifold).. I posed the question of how on the ask your questions thread. Only thing that concerns me is that a replacement would need to be welded. I do not own or have the knowledge to weld.
