What did you do to your Cherokee today?
#2521
Been outside in the rain stripping interior parts out of the junker. Thinking about swaping some of the trim to my 91. Black trim will look good against the gray seats and carpet.

Picked up my FrankZ bumper yesterday and installed it. Also got my Superwinch EPI9.0 mounted up as well. I still gotta get my fairlead mounted up.

Anyways, I washed mine this morning. Also, a neighbor asked if I could help her pic up a queen size bed from Big Lots. We put it on the roof, tied it down real tight with rope, and drove home going 15 mph. She drove behind me in her car with her hazards on. Got it home safe and sound.

I threw a coat of race glaze wax on, cut my air dam below the bumper(looks better+clearance), threw on helpers($27+1hr=sag gone+2" of lift), and sanded/painted my cl#3 hitch from the PAP. Next is 1" spacers for the front and some Pro Comps @ all 4 corners! Time to puff

Replaced the headlights with a set of XtraVision's, slight upgrade from stock. Definitely better than only having one headlight.

Oh and by the way...where are you living? Wyoming or California? I'm up in the Cowboy state myself.

Spent most of the day working on a buddy's Bronco II as he rolled it not too long ago and we're trying to get it back to snuff. I was able to put some time in on the XJ though. I seafoamed the intake (was expecting it to suck up more seafoam than it did before stalling), started conditioning the oil, and traced my inoperable turn signals to a short on my ground. I plan to fix the short, chenge the oil, and remove the muffler tomorrow. A mechanic told me that failed CATs, if bad enough can clog up the muffler and restrict airflow. This restriction then increases backpressure and then you get all sorts of issues. I'll run the rig without a muffler for a while (untill my ears bleed) and replace it if I think the old one is bad (I was lucky to find a shop that carries flowmaster, flowmax, thrush, dynomax, and a few other mufflers so I should have plenty to choose from. I want 2.25" inlet and 2.5" out right?

I do plan on moving the license plate to the fairlead once I get it mounted up. I have been running without a bumper for awhile so had stuck the plate on the grill as a temporary fix. Honestly though I haven't really noticed any reduction in airflow. Of course I don't drive a whole lot, nor have I had it like that all that long to notice any difference.

Nope not my Charger, its my neighbors, whom is an Airman, in which I am sure his monthly check is spent on a car payment and insurance.
