Nothing on the XJ today. Fixed the ignition switch on the Mustang, sure was nice to hear that 5.0 rumble back to life again.

Addressed some cosmetic woes on the backup ride. Clear coat was baked to hell on the hood and roof, that and a smattering on dents/dings and I just couldn't stand it anymore. I'll paint it later this week, that was enough fun for one day.

Thanks to Braytonia on here, my Jeep is 100% officially 4wd now. He also got me a Jeep emblem for the front since I had to replace the factory header panel.

Pulled the control arms, control arm drop brackets, tow hooks with some kind of crossmember and a steering box brace. Now to eat then pull up the interior in the back of the other and cut the shackle boxes out. What did you do to your Cherokee today?-photo327.jpg
Anyone seen anything like this?

GOOD strong set up for anyone who wants to stay with the OEM bumper. I've got the C4X4 one but remembered seeing that one.

Looks nice. What did you use? Considering scuffing them up, some Duplicolor Adhesion Promoter, and some Satin Black Krylon Fusion for when I do my door moldings.

On a sad note my guy told me I have another leak in my AC system. Used his brand new Snap On machine. Was hoping it was just where the schrader valve goes into the manifold hose but no. Only 2 things things not touched are the evap core and condenser. Cold now but that probably won't last. He did put some dye in. Maybe get lucky and see the leak. Will know in about a week after I drive the Jeep with the air on and go back for him to check.

I put my stock tires back on so I can drive into town tomorrow and get an alignment. It looks much better with the 35" Super Swamper...just sayin...
