Unfortunately, this side decided to reveal a little bit of cancer. I removed the trim from inside and cleaned out as much as I could. Then gave it a dose of Rust Reformer paint. It's a temporary fix but will have to do for now.

It was time to paint the lower rear panels after removing the plastic bumper trim that I really didn't care for. This side was fine...

I decided a while ago that whatever I replaced or repaired on the Jeep, I was going to go ahead and paint.

I didn't need any of those tools for this job but it was time for a valve cover gasket replacement.

Got to make a Sears run for some tools that had disappeared from my toolbox over the years.

I did it in four spots and never had to adjust it once.

I tip if you have this project in your future. I stole it from a YouTube video. A little twine to keep the gasket in place while reinstalling the pan. Once you get one or two bolts in place holding in, snip the twine and slide it out. Worked great!

At least I got the oil pan looking good before reinstallation.

Not the most difficult job but it's an incredible PITA to get to.

And a pesky oil leak. Time to tackle the dreaded Rear Main Seal.

And my son turning a bowl. He's done several things but he really enjoys turning bowls. He's made some pretty amazing ones.

For my son's graduation gift last year, he decided he wanted a lathe. So, we hopped in the Jeep and headed to Springfield, MO. The home of Grizzly Tools. If you're into woodworking and live in the Midwest, I'd highly recommend a visit. Great tools at decent prices and a very cool store/showroom. They've got EVERYTHING out on display.

Broke a sway bar connector installing the lift. I went without for a while but I didn't really care for the boatlike experience so these guys got replaced. The bushings were a little shot.

When I got her, she only had 93,000 miles. She was my DD for a few years. My wife and I work at the same place now so we take the car.

One from last winter. I wish I could have bought it from him and parted it out but it wasn't meant to be. At least we got to do the removable door mod and went doorless most of last summer.

This is a couple pics of my son's '94' Cherokee. Great suspension but it had a lot of other issues that were bleeding him dry so he sold it. It had a Rusty's long arm lift with 36" Mickey Thompsons.

So it was time for a little lift. 2" budget lift. Shackles in the back. Pucks in the front. New shocks all around. Of course 3 of the 4 upper shock bolts broke off...
