That picture scares me. The bottom of my Jeep is spotless because I've cleaned it 2x in anticipation of the lift I'm planning on installing next week. Going up in the morning to meet Mike with Nate and going to the canal. Something tells me I'm going to be washing my Jeep for a few days and all the pb blasting is going to waste. LOL

You pump smoke through your vacuum lines when the car is off. Wherever you see smoke coming out of the engine bay, that is where you have a vacuum leak. To put it in perspective, the shop next to my house charges $150 to hook up their smoke tester. I made this one for free using crap I had around the house. The only thing I had to outsource was the shrader valve, which a bike shop gave to me for free off a used inner tube.

To all those who wanted/needed parts.
Located 3 different hatches in 2 yards. Located one hitch that wasn't worth pulling. Basically wasted my time at CR Edgewood and Erdman Ave, think they had 8 cherokees between them. Didn't get a chance to look for skids at the last yard, just spent 2 hours waiting on a loader operator to lift a vehicle for me si I could get parts, got disgusted and ended up leaving. too damn cold to do anything today, will try and give it another try next week....
On a good note, did find a 3" lift at a yard in Chase, its a rusty's lift if anyone is interested. On a 2 wheel drive Cherokee to boot.

Where and what time did you hits say you are meeting? Maybe I can make it. Do you have address for me to put into my GPS?
