Yeah, I trolled your build thread.... I like the custom work you did on the headlight buckets to accomodate them. This is what other conversions I've seen with those lights have been lacking.

Really.... so they're functioning fine without the rear disc proportioning valve?

Surprisingly yes. No lock-up, no nose-dive and no pulling. Very happy with this mod.

I've tried it both ways.
Without and then with the 94 to 98 Grand Cherokee prop valve guts.

Better with than without, although without isn't bad....

Must be a slow Cherokee day on the forums.
I mounted my fogs on the new bumper and gave the Jeep a hose down.

Gathered and cleaned up my spare rims to decide which ones I'm going to get my winter tires mounted up on. Decided that though the 15x6 (9-spoke) generally look better, the 15x7 (6-spoke) are mostly clean enough, so I'm going with them.

Installed my new RC steering stabilizer today. Surprisingly it only took me an hour and only 5 whacks with my hammer to get the old one out. The jeep gods must have been on my side today.






It really is amazing how much nicer, stiffer and jiggle-less the xj drivers now with a new one. Hahaha

I think you meant to say RE. Time to change those TREs as well to really fix the sloppy steering

Agreed on the TREs, there's a small list and growing. Haha

I believe the new forum application has been giving issues and preventing folks from posting, hence the low turnout lately.

Attempted using a factory-match urethane paint to repair high-lift damage on fender panel (lifted from slider, top of high-lift bar dug into fender).
Discovered what looks like original 1996 radiator cap, still in use.

Drove my new company Cherokee and took this pic while doing so. No law here against using device while driving.
