What did you do to your Cherokee today?

Just put some in myself. They totally kick ***.
Once I pick it up I will. Complete assembly.
I thought about cutting the whole when I did mine, but I changed it at around 160,000 miles and used a Bosch pump, so I figured I'd probably never have to do it again. Mine wasn't a fail pump, but instead the bottom strainer was plugged up. I disassembled the old pump assembly and saw that the original pump was also a Bosch.
Did you get just the pump or the complete assembly? If you got the whole thing, can you post a pic of the bottom intake strainer? On mine, it was HUGE compared to the old one.

Reassembled the NP242. All the gear positions work like they should, so that's good. Everything is much tighter, almost has a preload feeling now, but no fluid in it so that could be why. Reinstall tomorrow.

Hooked a trailer to it and had some fun.
Also bought a second set of rear TJ flares.
That'll be project sunday to get all four put on to pass inspection for my repair order.

Gave the HD Off-road no lift shackle relocation kit a test and they do exceptionally well my shackle angle improved and so did rear flex and I still had more to go! I couldn't flex that much when my shackle angle was vertical

on an XJ? Were they the same left and right? the 93-98 ZJs have a specific left and right strut because there is a notch on the interior side that a tab on the strut fits into. Luckily I found replacments on amazon...Strongarm was the brand. But I also had to find a socket for male torx bolts that I didn't see anywhere, not even online until I found them at Harbor Freight
