Resisted the urge to set it on fire..

After the fuel pump failing, then the TPS two days later. Today, I had to replace the CPS. A Mopar (Mostly Old Parts And Rust!) unit not even 6 months old, toast. Just went to the store and picked up a Borg-Warner unit with lifetime warranty for a third of the cost.

Why do you think there aren't mirrors on my ninja? Maybe the Comanche wouldn't need mirrors if it would actually run right, but I haven't been lucky enough for that.

Drained the water, back flushed the heater core a few times and then dumped some actual flush in it (round 2). Then drove it around for 30 min. Going to drive it some more and hope it eats everything away. Still running good with the fresh engine. Up to about 100 miles on it. I also had my friend at work clean and flow the injectors out of my other Jeep and I stuck them in the silver Jeep. Runs a little bit smoother now.

Lol... Apparently that's what most the folks out there pulling trailers think.

Finally got off my kiester and did something...

The weather was perfect so I pulled the power train out of Black Bertram.

Here's to overcoming laziness!

Did a general driveline and chassis lube, checked all bolts, topped off fluids...general maintenance stuff. Then did this...

What did you do to your Cherokee today?-20180204_145250.jpg

Was a beautiful day for it too. Then took it to get a new belt for the air compressor, came home and changed the compressor oil, filter and belt, and it's running boobies again.

Been doing a lot of tube bending and notching at work...so after having the doors off today, I'm thinking time for tube doors. I have it all but a good notcher, which I can use at work, so why not, right?
