last night was my first night working on the jeep. i got a lot of things i wanna fix but want to put it on the road asap. i took it to firestone to get some new tires, then took it home and took off the airbox,throttle body, plugs, wires, and valve cover. After getting a feel for where everything is i must say this jeep is nice and easy to work on. i love it. going to change the head gasket, valve cover gasket, thermostat, rear main seal, oil pan gasket, found yesterday that my master cylinder and my fuel pump/tank are leaking so those have been added to the list also. any suggestion or tips for any of my upcoming repairs would be awesome thanks again fellas

i just joined the other day. i love this site 
i've found out a lot of stuff i would've never known otherwise. just started drivin my 89 limited and yesterday and when i got home from school the right front caliper was basically stuck. i thought it was an oil leak from the smell then i realized it was the brake. now i got more plans for saturday. im already doin an oil change and all that general maintenance. its gonna be cold as hell outside too. oh well.
