Hey guys its been a while since ive been here i havent been on because i lost my 'reply' button but just figured out i can post by 'quoting' someone on my phone app. Anyways i recently did the IRO steering, 35x12.50r15 Goodyear mtr Kevlars, d window wheels, 4.88's, grizzly locker, detroit locker, 30 spline 4340 shafts up front, alloy usa axle seals, new u joints and im waiting on my clayton 3 link to get here next week. Oh and trimmed of course. Going to bumpstop and get some limiting straps once i install the 3 link.

Man that looks good, nice work! I really like how you trimmed the front fenders also.

WELL a while back I posted about smoke billowing out of my dash board
https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f2/i-t...i-fire-205411/

Finally got around to pulling the resistor after it warming up enough to work outside and then getting over the flu.

Pulled the resistor and it had pieces of charred paper towel inside the little cage where obviously some mice had managed to get it into the system. It still worked but hopefully the burned smell will leave the system.

Now I have to replace the clunky sounding heater fan and it will be good to go.

Better than gear oil....LMAO

I gotta tell ya, I'm really thinking about ripping up the carpet, and cutting a hole in the rear, and using a larger piece of sheet metal, and some sealant and screws, instead of removing the tank, bumper and skid plate...anyone ever done this or seen it done?

Seen it done on some cars before. Hell Honda did it from the factory on a few of their cars. Not a bad idea.

I've seen it on other cars, just wondering if any one has done it to an XJ. Seems like a lot less work, and easier to replace in the future if need be...
