Decided to clean the IAT. Good decision seeing as how it looked like someone dipped it in axle grease.

Not sure. They were a birthday present. The lenses are glass. I was surprised!

Installed 1/4 inch Tie in brackets,
Installed my new prerunner bumper
Cut my fenders to accomidate the near bumper and primer'd the exposed metal so it'll stay rust free for when it gets sent to the paint shop.
Sprayed rubberized undercoating on all the new bolts and the tie in brackets to keep them from rusting.

Since I moved my steering box to put the tie in brackets in, my steering wheel isn't straight anymore. How do I fix it? It's pretty bad lol.

This is my life as well. There is a comanche for sale not for from me. Tempting. The only problem, if I built something like that, it would HAVE to be a cherokee. The family would want to come with.
