USB bought on amazon. Had to enlarge the hole and cut away some plastic on the back side of the switch bezel

I ordered 2 10mm ball brackets from amazon that came in today. I used my extra rear hatch strut and made myself a hydraulic hood.

1999 Jeep Cherokee Sport kept shutting down randomly, no obd codes but thanks to the other Jeep owners out here I have it rolling along with the CPS replaced.

I took care of my leaking brake line (post-rear disc conversion), even did a little custom fabrication by welding a tab to the diff. so the soft lines had a place to mount up to. What a difference in stopping power and in case anyone was wondering I did not upgrade the prop. valve even though Big_Dave provided it with the kit.

It was getting dark when I finished up, here are some pics. One strut holds it up just fine. I relocated my prop rod for a back up. I also cut the edge of the plate that holds my reservoir so I still need to make a bracket to strengthen that, but that's easy enough.

^This application works best with 'reverse 10mm ball mounts'.

Added some Blazer brand LED lights to rear of the rack. Finally some real lights for backing up vs the oem candles. Pair for under $40 including tax. Had to reform the rear braces of the roof rack to provide room. Will see how they hold up. I was very disappointed that Dog never helped and was indifferent to the whole project. Me? This was a 3 beer job, Happy Happy Happy

The Before pic.Old nasty hitch.


After sanding .... I hate sanding .... rusty metal primer.


Final product with paint.


Doesn't need to be perfect. Just needs to not look like a piece of crap.

Got to finally wire up my roof rack mounted LED bars. Like above, no longer a shortage of light in the rear.
