Never seen a Cherokee here in South Florida w/o A/C. You can tell the one's sold here as the windows are factory tinted from the rear doors and back. We throw some 20% tint on the front windows and a 5% strip on the front and we're ready to tackle the heat.

New cps new starter, tries to start but no fire, found out my asd relay and fuel pump relay constantly click when the key is on so apparently that means the pcm is toasted, next step is to find a good pcm cross my fingers and pray

That's your town's idea of a "truck" pull? Where did they start, the grocery store?

Attempted to replace my AC compressor clutch. In the end, the 14mm center nut post is now damaged and won't rethread on. Have to dremel in a new thread or SOMETHING tomorrow. Another weekend wasted on the ol vehicle this summer

Yup.... that's the first thing I did to every vehicle I ever owned when I lived in Coral Springs.... I'm in Ocala now and I STILL do it. Speaking of which, it's time to re-tint the XJ

I usually just plan on old hard lines seizing/breaking on me. Makes it easier when they do since I will usually have the lines I need to replace them.
