Swapped out the stupid idiot light gauge pack for a normal one, now I can tell what rpm I'm at. I also had to get the plastic panel that goes around everything. The best condition one I could find at the JY was wood grain. It's cheesy, but I kinda like it.

Took apart my drivers side hub assembly and ruined the wheel bearing in the process due to how stuck it was in the knuckle. Went to do the same to the other side and snapped a bolt...went to try the other two and they both are going to snap. What makes things better is you cant find the bolts for sale anywhere other then a junkyard and the axle nut on the drivers side was a completely different size and thread type then a regular cherokee axle shaft nut so now I need to try to dig one of those up in a junkyard somewhere. This Jeep is going to kill me...

Replaced both busted motor mounts. In the process found out I had to remove the oil filter resulting in "I might as well change oil and filter" which turned out oil filter housing had to come off cause it was still blocking the bolt from sliding out of the motor mount which resulted in finding 3 new O rings the parts stores had no listing for.
So.. It's all fixed now and I removed a lot of factory accessories from under the hood that are pointless on a off road rig.
Hears my old mounts. Enjoy

I put some new shiny wheels on it. 16x10 4"bs rockkrawler 52s. Taking spacers out of front, shackle relocation, and dropping down to stock shackle. Should put me around 6"

Changed valve cover gasket
refreshed trans fluid
painted bumpers and all trim black
Realized that instead of patching my drivers rocker panel, I'm going to have to replace the whole panel
