Intake/exhaust gasket time. And it looks like my header is cracked to death. Big surprise right?

Can you take some pics of what is inside the CD enclosure? I have been wondering for quite some time what is in there lol

There might be one for sale here. He posted in the for sale section but was selling it on Ebay. As far as I know the reserve was not met though.

And following up on this. Cracks welded. Everything is back together with no more exhaust leaks! Total time with welding included, 3 hours. Also, I had to modify the gasket. The bottom of the exhaust ports were blocking about a 1/4" of the port. Anyone else have that issue with a felpro gasket?









And then I gave it a good degrease. No more dirt and oil!

It can sneak up on you...

Was straddling the ruts down hill and the passenger tire started sliding in and it just slowly went up from there. No damage, just a ruined pair of undies and a stressful few minutes. They said my back tire was too high to reach just standing on the ground.

That's the way mine went over, bank gave away and it went over slow and graceful. I was like "Is it? maybe not? yep..it is!" lol It was so slow I had time to already figure a game plan for a build project before it was all done and settled in. lol

What did you do to your Cherokee today?-dy3qfg1h.jpg

Used it to anchor my hammock. I need a stinger to get my tushy higher off the ground

Not pictured here is the doggo that came running up to me crying looking for love. I was well outside of any houses so i figured she was lost. Took her to the humane society and they are gonna try to find her family or adopt her out

Got rid of this from the heater / blower. Those things made one hell of a racket the other morning when I turned on the heat....
