Today i took it to the interior. Just bought my 92 lest than a week ago and you can def tell the PO had a cat. I took the mean green machine to the seats and carpet.Smells Great!!!!

 

I take it you don't like cats too much.

 

Cleaned it and sanded the peeling paint off my front left fender flare, I'm gonna rattlecan it as soon as I can find the right color.

 

(4) ball joints, Adj. LCAs, front pinion seal, and broke a Snap-On ball joint press. Welded it up, used it, broke again, welded again, finished the job, and it broke again.

 

replaced a freezeplug on driver side with a rubber expansion type due to a hole in the original, and finally fixed my toggle switch for my rear window wiper

 

Installed my new, but actually used surco rack with spare tire carrier and 2 more pairs of hella 550's!! (made my own lights mounts too, saved 80 bucks!!) Now for the wiring!! woo hoo.......NOT. LOL

 

Ended up I had a nice vaccuum leak, from the vaccuum manifold, where the PCV valve goes to the airbox, and I took my TB completly apart and cleaned out with a parts washer, the was about 1/8" of gunk keeping the butterfly from completly closing. Cleaned that out like new and voila it idles at 750 and it runs so smooth now. for having 240K+ miles.

 

Yesterday I disassembled and cleaned the Crankcase Ventilation system. The elbow was pretty gunked up, but the pipe and fitting on the manifold required serious attention as they were totally clogged with oil sludge.

The amount of oil/smoke coming out of the airbox has decreased considerably, and it no longer smokes after hard accelleration. I'm curious to see if my oil consumption rate changes, I imagine it will since my engine was basically pressurizing and ejecting oil forciably into the airbox.

 

Installed the passenger side fog light - didn't relize i could not get the drivers side on without removing bumper so i just got 1 one still...

 

Seafoamed and got lots of white smoke
(is that just the liquid burning out or is it taking garbage with it?)

Started cutting two notches on my front bumper to make room for some frame rail exensions to mount my brush guard. Not exactly sure how im gonna do it yet.

Think It matters much if I use 1" square, 2" square, or angle iron to close the 4-5" gap between the fram rails and the bottom of the brush guard ?

 

Fixed broken TRE on my adjustable track bar...

 

Changed oil, grease fittings, check tranny and trans case levels along with front and rear diffs. Measure s10 blazer leaf springs and load weight to adapt to my xj. working on measurements for front springs.

 

snapped the drivers side eyelet off my disco. I knew i should of dissconnected them just to lazy and didnt think the trail was bad lol found out is was

 

Well i'm new to the Cherokee thing, and just picked up a 97 w/ 66k miles for cheap (needs engine work) so lets see what i've done (in the past week).
- Pulled the head off, replaced 6 intake valves and 1 exhaust valve
- dropped the oil pan to replace cracked piston #1. Don't ask me how it got cracked i bought it that way. I assume detonation.
- spent too much money today on gaskets, fluids and headwork.
- Putting it all back together tomorrow, lets hope it works!

But hey i'll be under 2,000 dollars for everything (including the jeep ). Next comes the lift/wheels/tires.

 

-Trimmed the skirt off under the front bumper
-Cut the front fenders off at the bottom of the bumper
-Painted my axels flat black (now that you can see under there better) =)
