Gonna tinker with front bumper today. I plan to lose the plastic cover on the right side so it matches the left one. I'll get some photos posted today too... may only be lawn crawlin' though.

We applied Gatorback coating to the bumpers and side moldings. They were faded so bad, almost white. This was on a 2001 Cherokee. The jeep looks brand new. In fact a neighbor came over and thought we replaced everything. It's suppose to last 4-5 years. It's better than using back to black.
It was yesterday, swapped in a GC 136 A alt after my stocks rear bearing failed. Note: remove all brackets and clearance them out of the vehicle. Clearance the alt body last.

drove it home from work after loading up some wheels and tires for a dodge I already have sold.
easy way to make a car payment and pocket some cash.

I only could do the axle side joint because the body side uses a poly bushing on my arms. It just took me a couple hours to actually figure out how to get the things out. But once I did it was smooth sailing. I just used an air hammer and put it on the lip of the bushings sleave and then went to town. And with enough effort they popped out. Then I just used a ball joint press to press the new ones in. Then to get the bolt back through it took another set of hands to help. I had my dad put a big pipe through the knuckle to rotate the axle so the bolt hole lined up again. Took me a couple hours to get them both in.

2 good things.. off work for that time and not spending money on gas...
Last trip for a while.. great week around the lake.
Oh yeah, that was the first trip in this jeep ever. all it has is a custom bumper, a winch 235-75R-15 snow tires... And a 4.7 with a 6 speed..
I can't wait to transfer all from the jeep thats on my avatar picture.

No big deal, just joined the 300,000 mile club in my 2001 limited.
Don't mind the CEL. I need a new evap line from the canister to fuel tank.

made a trip to the local pick and pull. grabbed a visor, sunroof motor, fog light and clean seat belt. returned home and replaced them all! I was surprised to see that they had 14 jeep Cherokees... lots to pick from
