Got er' done!

Ok, so I have not driven yet, need to get brakes going, and without driving I'm sure you never really know, but what do you guys think, I'm going to get an SYE in a few weeks, but should I put the TCase drop on? 4.5" lift, AX-15... What y'all think?

But as far as sye and drive shaft, if you feel any vibes while driving then yes you will need one, you might be ok at that height but it is best to get one.

Tested my 4x4 that PO said didn't work and it works perfectly and installed the "factory cup holder" or whatever it's called that can only hold 2 cans.

I took out the cat6, not sure what I was originally thinking, that I ran for my cb and ran some rg8 trough the molding and blah blah blah. Did this in between coats of primer.

More welding and cutting on the floor. Slow going but it's good to see something other than rust on the passenger side. Will need to reinforce the forward seat brace.

Remote? PA? You didn't run power over CAT6... did you?

I love hearing my exhaust and feeling my suspension. Paid good money for that. Like a whole new rig. Might take a road trip Thursday just to do it. Considering wj seats. An hour drive to fetch some. All the more reason

I doubt a t-case drop will do any good with a 4.5" lift. You'd be better off going with the SYE.

Oh........and definitely get some bigger tires.

What did I do to my Cherokee today? I really wish I knew, it started pouring white smoke through the exhaust, I can feel at least one piston knocking around and now it stalled on me and won't start back up to get me home since I can't afford a tow
