Lightbulb 10 more things to do on my 91 cherokee!!!

I have already fixed the steering, welded the cracks in the frame of the steering housing. Replaced the exhaust, Replaced the fuel filter, Replaced the oil filter, Changed the oil, Fixed the 4 wheel drive, Changed the differential fluid, Replaced the deck, Got new dope snow tires. Changing the fuel filter stopped the car from shutting of while just driving down the road. And for the 4 wheel drive there was a giant bolt in the plug so it was keeping the 4 high locked in place. So i replaced the bold with a small one that doesnt get in the way of the fork. The 4 high still doesnt work because of the sloppyness in the fork. I either need new c clips to keep it tight so there is no play in it or i just need to replace the diaphram and the fork. Here is the LAST things on my list.

1repaint
2and i need to put the side panels back on
3replace ignition the key is stuck and wont come out so i need to replace the ignition
4het a back winshield wiper i have the motor i just need the arm
5replace the drivers sideview mirror
6re-upholster the roof
7pull out dents
8 fix heater it takes forever to heat up
9 finish fixing 4 wheel drive

The only thing i can give real advice on is the Heater.

Disconnect your entry hose and exit hose on the heater core and running water through both ways with will prob come out as poo color first then clear eventually. should heat up much quicker after that.

Oh do it with engine cold and pull off rad cap first to dissipate pressure.

I don't know where you're from but right now it's about 8 degrees here & my heater is pretty important to me. X2 to ^^ but I run CLR through the core, let it sit in there for a few hours, then flush w a few gallons of water.

should be on the fire wall on the passenger side in the engine compartment... two hoses a little bigger than a quarter in diameter.

1) I repainted my roof flat black because I was tired of my pink roof
so I bought some rattle can and sanded the roof down and sprayed it, looks great
Before: https://www.cherokeeforum.com/member...ed-product.jpg
After:https://www.cherokeeforum.com/member...ooks-great.jpg

2) they sell the clips at autozone and pepboys

6) Tore out the fabric from the headliner, pulled it all out and hit it with some grey primer, looks great https://www.cherokeeforum.com/member...-sag-again.jpg
and it will never sag again

7) leave them in they add character

Just out of curiosity...Captainofiron....How is the road noise with no head liner??? I have at least 66 miles of highway to travel to work and then it is off road from there. I was looking to do the same thing and was hesitant because that it seems like that If I take a liner off...It (the Jeep/rattles) or the road noise gets louder....???? Thanks for your input

its the same, plus the noise comes from the bottom, plus you arent eliminating the insulation under the headliner, only the thin layer of fabric

I drive about 60 highway miles to work everyday round trip. and I didnt notice an increase in road noise at all, most of the noise is from my tires, very little wind noise increase.
