Got the wheels and bumper back on. I'm just about to grab the torque wrench and do the finishing touches which will conclude my first significant project on this Jeep.

Today felt mostly like a failure. I decided not to work on the body wire for the rear hatch until after the holidays. Same thing for the track bar axle side bushing, but because I either want more time or better tools to remove and install the bushings, and I'm also going to wait until I have the body side tie rod end for it and take the track bar out completely and paint it. Then I tried to remove a fender flare retainer so I could reinstall the flare, only to find out that my 8mm wrenches disappeared in the move. I ordered an 8mm deep socket to use instead, but that won't be here until friday.

help!!!!!!!!!
okay man I have a 2001 jeep grand cherokee laredo with the 4.0 getting a bunch of p 3..... codes misfire.4 cylinders so my question is is there a way to clean the injectors without hurting them. Cuz I can't afford brand new ones and I'm trying to find some upgrades like 703 is for a decent price. I've replaced every sensor that you can possibly replace. so please help I'm at my wits end like pull the 12 gauge out and shoot it.

, but I feel your pain
I would suggest that you start a thread in the Grand Cherokee sub forum, I am sure that you will get some solid help there. Before throwing any more money at random parts diagnose the cause of the DTCs and go from there, it will save you a boat load of money and you will be able to afford those upgraded injectors in no time.

I don't think mine will come off though since one of the nuts feels like it's rounding with barely any torque.
Same one I've been doing for the past few days. Using POR-15 rust treatment on the wheels and front bumper, then painting them.
The next project also new ground for me. I'm shopping for aluminum wheels and will get with BFG KO's or Treadright Crawler's. The new part is mounting and balancing the wheels myself. I've had the tools for years, but have never even taken them out of the box. It's time to change that. I need a compressor too.
Then a small one. New track bar with KOR bushings.
The one after that is a little harder. Brown Dog super kit engine mounts and a fresh transmission mount.
I'm hoping to get those done in the next two weeks.

You're right! I just checked my order. Fortunately I ordered a set that includes a 10mm socket!

Pour some BG44k (available at stores or ebay) into your tank @ 1/2 a tank, run for a few minutes and fill up and run it through the engine. Recommended is, I believe, over the next week or so. No huuuuge long trips all at once, you want it to sit in the fuel system a bit. It helped mine a good bit. Also check your fuel rail pressure, and check for leaks around the injectors. 44K is only good at cleaning out the internals.
To maximize results, add a can to a FULL tank of gas. Run it down to 1/2 tank and then fill again with gas. THEN, run it down to 1/8 tank.

I remembered this while driving and pulled over, couple screws later I have a horn and no airbag. Awesome.
