You really need to stop being good at breaking things.

Earl, for you, no problem. I know you have been on the hunt for a set anyways. I will pop them out this weekend before the shocks go in the dumpster. PM me your shipping info and I will get them coming.

Pulled the pukegoat out of the Comanche and started pulling the engine before the rain came. I think I'm getting pretty quick at this pulling stuff apart thing...

Got a couple more bolts left to tighten and then this thing is going down the road!



Edit - Got it back on the ground and took it for a test drive. All is good!

OK so what I did with my XJ today. Went and picked up this tool box. $100 off of Offer Up. Nothing fancy. Not roller bearing drawers. They slide nice and the box is in decent shape. Also got some tools with it. Everything below the face mask and left of the clamp are Snap On's or Blue Points. Anybody have any idea what the tool is between the speed wrench and punches. Last shot is just more crap that was in the box.

Ralph - That looks like a spreader for your battery clamps. When you take them off you sometimes need to spread them a bit to get them back on.

I don't think so. I know what those look like. Better picture might help.

Went to the junkyard and pulled a head, intake, power steering pump, and power steering pump bracket, and then went home and pulled the intake, exhaust and head off the Comanche. Taking a break and then hopefully pulling the block in a little. What did you do to your Cherokee today?-photo747.jpg yes that pushrod has been sitting there, no I didn't move it. It's been running with it just sitting there for a few thousand miles apparently. Not bent either.

Are you going to do anything to block except maybe clean it? "Dingle ball" hone?

Installed some Custom4x4 Fabrication tow hooks today. I really like how they were made and the install was easy.



I now have front and rear recovery points - it's starting to look like a Jeep too.
