I talked with odgreen and we came to the conclusion that there is something stuck in the dust shield. So, I'm just gonna let it wear itself down and fall out.

Have not had a chance to get on here since the weekend, though here goes. Monday I installed new rotors and pads, oem steering stabilizer, and Bilstein yellow body oem replacement shocks all around. Braking is night and day difference for the better, old rotors will have a nice time rotting at the dump! Shocks that were on it bore the Chrysler logo (all 4 corners and steering stab as well), so I am guessing they were factory. Having not driven all too many miles in this Jeep I have not noticed a huge difference however I can tell the new shocks are there.

Have rear glass struts showing up any day now as well as another package I forgot what the contents are. Too much stuff.

And finally, just ordered some oem headlight housings as hopefully last order for a while from RA; will probably toss some new bulbs in when I do that RnR.

She wishes her car matched mine! She drives mine more than hers.

Sprayed off the jeep real quick, every time it snows and melt the thing looks like poo.

Sprayed over my herculined quarters and rockers with 3m undercoating. Temporary fix, but after a few days drying and weathering it matches well.

Bumped some bone thugs n harmony, ha.
I had the rocky mts, they worked great. More or less the same tire.

Went a got all my brake parts at NAPA yesterday, thought it was a little spendy. When I got to the office this morning I checked online and the gal charged me $51.52 more for all my parts....going in to raise hell today. This Saturday I change rotors, calipers, pads, shoes and hardware. My first brake job on any vehicle. Fingers crossed it goes smooth!!

I don't see penetrating oil anywhere on that list...

Good luck, once someone does brakes they are pretty much set for life on the how to!
