What did you do to your Cherokee today?

No, I don't lick fish.
Replaced the radiator, electric fan, water pump, thermostat, coolent temp sender unit, radiator hoses, coolent (obviously), oil pressure sender unit. All just crap that was wrong with it when I bought it... New shocks went in recently and theres still a LOT left to fix that was covered up just long enough for me to hand the last owner cash and drive home with it. Maybe someday I'll get it mechanically up to par and then I can work on improving it...

Drove it back home for the thanksgiving holidays, looking forward to putting my factory injectors back in since the ford 19s just worsen my mpg too much, might even put the stock air box back on too

Going back to the factory injectors makes sense, but going back to the factory airbox doesn't... seriously more air really is a good thing. Try just the injectors first and if you're still not happy with the results, then do the airbox - but I can guarantee that's not your problem.

It's not just what I did to my jeep which was put in dodge neon injectors but more what my jeep did to me. While putting the injectors in I dislocated my shoulder. I was leaning over the fender while pulling the fuel rail when I slipped and landed the top of the fender in my arm pit. Had to reset it by slaming my shoulder into the side of the door. That's when I said screw it I'm done for the day

Drivers side rear flare done. Took just over 2 hours but it looks alright. Once it's rhinolined you won't be able to tell it's not factory. I'll do the passenger rear tomorrow in the morning and maybe start trimming the fenders to match the flares. I'm feeling better about how the rears will look once finished.
