What did I do to my Cherokee today? Well lets see, I unlocked the doors, rolled down the drivers window, started it up and let it run for a bit to keep the battery fresh, then shut it down. A few minutes ago I went out and rolled up the window and locked the doors again.

In other words, I didn't do anything to it or with it, but I just got it 2 weeks ago and it needs some work till I can start playing with it. The real work starts on Tuesday when I get to work on a flexplate replacement, and tranny flush. That will be followed by some rust repair and brakes. Then I can start playing with it and figuring out just what I want to do with it

Registered the silver xj, then took it out for a spin around local roads then the highway. AC blows cold and cruise works.
Drives like a dream.
Gonna drop it off at inspection station Monday.

Keep an eye on that pos tierod


I had one for 3 months then the tierod bungs wallowed out and the tierod ends would slip in and out. Ironically rusty passed the blame and said the bar wasn't bent so they couldn't warranty it.

Haven't done anything yet, but my goodies are in!

Full set of HD Offroad frame stiffeners and shackle relocators, JCR nutstrips, new C2C floor pans and inner rockers, and IRO double-shear track bar.

Can't remember if I posted this already but also grabbed a new drivers side seat mount and Detours USA Backbone for super cheap.

I did this to my old jeep in the back parking lot of a walmart on a 1hr lunch. I used my power inverter and my angle grinder. People looked at me like I was crazy with extension cords coming out of the hood and sparks flying all over the place. Good times lol

LOL...I guess I just don't understand PR and marketing, I just fail to see the connection...goes to show you how bad the USPS is in trouble, when they resort to those tactics...BTW let me know how those stiffies go in, in the market myself
