What did you do to your Cherokee today?

So I've owned my Jeep for 6 years. For all 6 of those years, the alarm would randomly give it's warning chirp (beeps quickly about 7 times). I just found out today that there is a shock sensor that can be adjusted. It has been several hours, and so far it hasn't sounded the warning chirps. How funny would it be after all these years of living with it, all I've needed to do was turn a small screw just slightly to the left?

Honestly, it never really bothered me that much. I always assumed it was an electrical short. I just googled it today, and found out about the shock sensor and it's adjustment screw, lol.

Yep, and it was set just slightly too sensitive. I guess temperature changes would cause slight movement in the kick panel and make the shock sensor think somebody was banging against the Jeep.

Finished pulling the engine and drivetrain out tomorrow I will get the darn bolt off from the transmission that have been giving me hell and hopefully start hooking stuff up and get the rebuilt one back in

Started installing my iro track bar, but I got stuck getting that lower bolt in since I couldn't fit a wrench back there. So tomorrow I'm going to try to cut the little opening up and see how that goes. Hopefully this bar rids those nasty death wobbles. Sure is scary when it hits..
Even without that 4th hole you shouldn't have any issue with recovery if you are using our newest tie in brackets.

Thank you for the picture I will look into what changes we can make to the bracket. That is quite a bit, just to make sure we are talking about the same part. This is the 4th hole on the Steering Box Spacer correct? This also means your hole on your Unibody Tie In brackets don't line up on the outside? (they are the same exact pattern) Also what year/trim level is your XJ?
