Default New from Athens, GA... Go Dawgs...

how's it going fellas??? new to the forum. been pretty happy with them so far... i've had my jeep for about 5 years. bought it with 75,000 miles on it. it's my daily driver. anyway, i add Michelin 235/75/r15 highway tires to the new wrangler wheels i acquired. i saw on tirerack that these Michelins had the best ratings. i haven't had many problems with the good ole jeep. only major things was a leaking radiator. replaced that not long ago... now i have this valve cover (rocker arm cover, i think the manual calls it) leaking, so i need to figure that out. gotta do a search on here and see if there's a writeup or something... also, are there any cherokee clubs in GA anywhere??

I'm a Georgia alum (class of 2003) living on Colorado's Western Slope near Vail. Welcome! Valve covers are easy, man. Just don't tighten them to spec torque value if you throw the Fel-pro rubber and metal gasket. You'll be snapping bolts in a hurry. Go Dawgs!
