Turn signals might be an issue, will have to see on that one, fog lights I picked up at Oreilly. Waiting to get A pillar light mounts, so I can put my good lights back on.

Drove it through a couple feet of snow cause school was cancelled. No school tomorrow either so no doubt I'll be driveway snow wheeling tomorrow too.

Nice. Harbor Freight is going to have a sale on their 12,000 lb winch. I paid the same price for the 9,000 a few weeks ago. $299.00. Not bad if they hold up.

fan clutch is easy just do it with the rest. 4 bolts and you're good.

I DID fix your duck call..........LOL.

I'm sure that once the OFA center bolt is torqued down, the roll pin plays no role in keeping it in place.

It's super easy the hardest part us removing the roll pin out of the block. Then taking off the male to male adapter off the original oil filter adapter and threading it into the block and screw in the filter. There's a lot of room between the mount and filter. I wouldn't worry about the filter hitting the mount at all because most of the time a motor mount fails on a xj it's the driver side first. And the bolt that goes through the mount on the aftermarket mpunts and stock is the same size.

I had a friend who bought one and failed while using it. I had to winch him out using my tigershark winch. He returned it and got his money back.

Had a great time driving in the snow today! I got stuck in a snow drift that was almost up to my driver's window. My buddy came in his ZJ and pulled me out. It was pretty funny. Gotta love the white stuff! Gunna hit up the mountain tomorrow to shred some fresh powdah!

Sorry, not the best picture. This was after we shoveled a bit. My driver's headlight was completely under the snow and I had to get out the passenger side cause the snow was too deep on my side haha. What did you do to your Cherokee today?-image-2105504943.jpg

A pair of wire cutters grabbing the roll pin worked pretty easy for mine. Just grab near the bottom, pinch it, then leverage the pin out.

That would suck.

The last of my parts arrived today. At least that's all I'm ordering until my back heals enough to start installing them. So it was with great sadness that I gingerly moved that last shipment into the garage.

Where did you guys get your Gatorback belts? I was trying to avoid buying online.
