New spark plugs, I'm surprised i was running on all 6-cylinders since one plug was covered in crud. Then the heater valve committed suicide so i had fun fixing that.

Then replaced the exhaust clamp that offed itself last night.

Haven't done anything but drive her since upgrading the radiator, headlight harness (Putco), and installing the H4 Eurolights. But today, my new Draw-Tite front receiver arrived! Figure I'll find the time to install it within the next 2-4 weeks. I'll feel much better with SOME kind of front recovery point now. The next couple of little things are a steering pump replacement and an e-fan upgrade. Then it'll be time to start seriously saving for an ARB locker upgrade (or an Eaton e-Locker...haven't decided yet). Oh...no, probably before the lockers, I'll upgrade the tires to 31" Duratracs. The 2WD needs new tires and I can put the 30" Toyos from the 4x4 on it.

Well, if it has gauges instead of lights, I'll buy them.

Cool man, I'd appreciate that. I could use the dash bezel and whatever bracket holds the factory radio in.

Washed it, figured out what I'm going to do with my quarter panel rust. Cut and fold! Then mess with the rear bumper and maybe cut it make it look a tad cooler.

Sorry I have a 1994 Grand Cherokee Straight 6. I have found you guys to be very helpful in my goal of restoring my GC to prime and then some. One thing I do have to ask is has anyone got any good ideas one how to brighten up the black hole that is the space between the front seat. I cant even see where the heck my drink is at night.
it wouldnt be to hard to wire up a single led bulb, you could have it on a switch or maybe hook it up to the running lights.

Il probably end up bed lining it soon. I'm also going to redo my front bumper hopefully tomorrow and that's getting lined so we'll see how much I have left.

Snagged a HP d30 out of the junk yard. Just a few more items to collect to convert to 4x4.
