Nope, I just got fed completely up with the brakes after spending like $150 with no results, plus my gf was getting REALLY mad hah so I just put everything back together and I'm running bad brakes for a while.. Think once I got some cash I'ma just drop it off at a shop and let them deal with the pos

It weighs 128lbs, but I have new springs. It's only 10in off the grill, just enough room for the warn winch I need to put on. I call it my Deer Bane 1000. A lot of them play peek a boo around these parts.

Installed a Flowkooler water pump, Robert Shaw 180* thermostat and a new thermal fan clutch today! Next weekend it's the rear main seal! Last week it was the OFA o-rings! I love working on my Cherokee!

Figure out the threads and buy them at Home Depot.

Is the back a 1 piece or 2 piece? I want these flares but when I take the doors off I still want a whole rear fender flare. Can't wait for the pictures.


Saw a little leakage around the very front injector so I replaced all the o-rings this morning. Also swapped from 91 to 96 injectors, no real difference but I may lose a little MPG's. About 3lbs/hr more for the 96's. Also swapped out the fuel filter. It was 2 years old so it was way over due.

NOTE: I learned the battery terminal cleaner tool is perfect for dirt in the fuel injector holes. Made things real simple because they were nasty! Surprised me that they all weren't leaking.

Adjust my antenna's forward 2" to keep them upright. Bumper is sooooo tweaked that they will not be identical until I get my JCR deluxe cnf.

It sucks on trails, no way to balance the brake and throttle. As I learned, my first trail run i stalled 3 times on a steep incline, every time i went flying backwards with the wheels locked up from. No steering + one-use brakes = scary as **** can be for a Teenager using their only vehicle.

Put a hand throttle on your shifter
