Getting there. Brackets tomorrow and check for leaks before I fire it up.

What did you do to your Cherokee today?-image-622864449.jpg

Also discovered that the retaining tab on the IAC's connector snapped, so the socket just sorta falls off. I think a highly sophisticated application of zip ties is in order!

I swear half the plastic on this this is so fragile from heat cycling. I think only two of the fuel injector sockets have fully functioning tabs now. Driving me nuts!

Finished my lift, installed new sway links

Looking into some new bushings & new track bar, depending on how it handles the road. Also O2 sensors, OFA o-rings, and ball joints. Yikes! Luckily most of that stuff is cheap

FYI: If you lifted 3" or more, you should replace the track bar.

That said, congrats on the lift

Flex parked on a rock at Applebees. Manager told my that i had to move half way through the meal. Kind of a fun conversation.

Oh, and rolled 140k. Just broke in!

Do you also find it odd that the plastic retaining clip that breaks is ALWAYS on the harness side and not on the part itself?
