Installed the Dirtbound rock sliders then washed it. I should have washed it first cause dirt was falling all over my face.

I replaced my coil on the 2000
My old one had a crack on the underside at Cylinder # 4. It started to throw misfire codes once and awhile, then It started to throw a code everyday.
I tried to jb weld the crack, and that fixed it for awhile ,then it came back. well ever since I replaced the coil the code is gone. Ive been driving it all morning.
No more codes and runs great. So if you have a 00-01 cherokee and can't get rid of a misfire and have done everything possible, try looking at the underside of the coil for cracks that might be the issue.
the crack on the old one

Sold it. 
The motor going out put me in to much debt. But now I can catch up and start saving for a newer model. I'm thinking maybe the 98-00 years.

I need to replace the motor in my YJ again, and I think I found a buyer for one of my .45 caliber toys to finance the motor swap, replace the gas tank on the F150, and replace the broken wheel on the Camaro.

Installed new brake pads & rotors. Rotated the tires too.
ALSO found Rotella T6 for $16 a gallon at an Oreillys nearby. WOOP. Gonna go buy 2 gallons of it cause the Jeep and the dirt bike both run on it.

Use this, and its already $21 a gallon in the store right now. Walmart prices without the guilt!

Moved the trans cooler to a proper position with the help of no rdplz. The drive back to Indiana on Friday should be a better one.

Installed a'95 fuel rail with injectors from the junkyard... and I think my relentless issue is corrected! Starts up just fine now and doesn't hesitate.

Car wash & new air filter. I got this one..
http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/s...tre+air+filter
I've never been excited about an air filter before. I think there's something wrong with me. I'm just hoping it helps the mpg a little, at least 1 or 2 would help alot. It was 13.8 when I got it.

Checked the tracking number for my quarter panels, they should be here tomorrow around noon, and picked up the missing piece of steel for my 6x2 rocker conversion.
