Default What Did You Do to Your Grand Cherokee Today?

Figured since there are many types of jeeps that members have, this will be a great thread that we can keep going for those of us that wheel in Grand Cherokees!

Also, we can keep up with and see the neat things that many do to these supposed "Luxury" style jeeps.

Lastly, it is really neat to see the small day to day tinkering of the members that own Grand Cherokees.

That's great! I love it when people w/attitude in their "high-end toys" are receiving the stinky end of the stick.

Moved posts from XJ thread to here...

Getting her room floor ready for paint and I FIND the EBrake pads ARE NON existent!



So, stopped preparing for paint and dirtied the floor ALL OVER again while replacing
the missing E-BRAKE parts!!

Then I notice a bad leak coming from one of the joints, weird because I JUST HAD
THE thing serviced!!




I am having FUN!!!!


Turns out (or so I am told) that the transfer case was over filled and it caused this leak:



We shall see how much truth there is to that tomorrow.

Did you consider putting a heat shield around that air filter?

Yes, the problem is I can not find just that part, I would have to buy the ENTIRE thing and that is useless.

I was told that it would not be necessary, I guess that information was incorrect?

Any idea where I can find one cheap?

There's a thread on here somewhere from someone who made one from an old stock air-box in an XJ. It looked to be pretty functional, and cheap.
Wish I could find that thread now.
