a few things...
I put new ceramic front brake pads on. (91 Jeep stops like a 09 now)
I found that a noise ive been hearing in my front axle when I hit and release the gas peddal is my passenger side u-joint other side is perfect but passenger side is really loose. They are only a year old too. Any reason it would go bad again so soon? Ive havent been rough on her either.
I put in new(junk yard) body to door weather stripping on driver door. gotta do rr next. (Its so quite inside now)
Filled up rear diff. was down about 3/4 inch. I really gotta replace my pinion seal. But hey atleast it didnt run dry.
I pulled out sound bar to refabric it and put 6.5 speakers.

Well today i put gas in it. $1.95 a gallon(hell yeah) But this weekend put some nice exhaust in. New down pipe, O2 sensor and tail pipe from NAPA. In between all that is stuffed with a Magnaflow high-flow cat, and a Hooker muffler. Real nice sound and running really smooth. For this weekend comes some front axle work, new rotors and diff fluid.

Changed my 89 Cherokee from closed to an open cooling system. Pain in my butt, but it now sits at a cool 210. Im pretty pleased. Less than 100.00 and she's up and running. On a Bad note, I may be replacing an AW4 soon, barring any unforeseen developments.
