Took apart both wheels to change the hubs and waited 4 hours for my mechanic neighbor to let me borrow his torque wrench and axle socket only to have him never show up. Now i gotta take my dads minivan to school tomorrow as the cherokee is on stands

Plus I got a switch to cut power to amp in case a cop drives by so I didn't want all my speakers to shutoff.

Screwed it up though, hole in the firewall needed to be an inch to the left. Cut it using a 1/2 inch drill bit then did my best possible with a sawzaw. Forgot to take pics when the cowl grill was off. Used a K&N 3130 cone filter.
Just need to get a few clamps to be safe, the rubber fittings seem to be holding fine.

Used a ChromeIntakes filter set i got off eBay, which just had a knockoff K&N filter that sat where the OEM air box used to be. Turned it around and bought flex tube at a parts store. There are cheaper ways, but i wasn't planing on the cowl mod when i got that intake.
Mounting hardware for that^ was ****ty and it just sucked in hot air from the radiator.

Swapped a drivers side front shaft cause the u joint was seized and changed the wheel bearing on the same side. Before that I drove it to pick up a 4.88 geared and locked Ford 8.8!!
