Your problem was just brought to your attention due to lifting it. The worn parts were there but lifting it only makes them more apparent.

Just take off all the lugnuts but the one, turn the tire til the stripped nut is on the bottom, then grab the top of the tire and pull like a mother f***er! That'll do it...

That sure does suck I'm grateful my dad is so cool with me and the jeep. It's in his name but its my jeep and he let's me do what I want. My friend was the same way as you with his jeep and his dad. Hopefully your not paying someone to do that and he is though.

You can either take the door pin out and drop a bolt in it or you can cut the hinge and lift em off I did the one were you put a bolt in cause it's a lil easier to me

What did you do to your Cherokee today?-duras.jpg

You think it would hold out for a 2 hour drive, 2 days in the bush then 2 hours back?
The Tank isnt cracked, just leaking at the join.
