Drove the Cherokee this morning only to have the brake pedal suddenly go near to the floor and a puddle of brake fluid on the ground! Oh, well, I figured it was too good to be true that I'd get away with not having to do any real work on this thing! Looks like it's leaking in the left rear right above the parking brake cable. Time to get out the flaring tool...

Replaced the Delphi GN10172 ignition coil that I purchased in April of this year. I started having a problem where the ignition would turn off then turn right back on, after the car had sat overnight, but not after it warmed up for the day. Then we had a cold spell and the car ran like crap, not a full miss but weak ignition / misfilre like it couldn't keep up with the RPMs. Pulled the Delphi and the outer winding plate moves around freely.

Replaced it with a Standard brand coil, working fine so far

Why the switch from MTRs to Duratracs?

You will be happy with the duratracs. I ran them before my current tires. Reason I didn't get them again is I don't drive on snow or ice. I wanted a tire more for desert driving and rock crawling so I went with the general grabber red labels.

Fixed the exhaust leak in the J10 again. Maybe it'll stay this time. Also added 2.5 quarts of oil, changed my brake pads because I hit the wear indicators last night, and replaced more dry-rotted rubber hoses in the engine bay.

The YJ trans is completely dead, and it's gonna sit in place until I figure something out.

Finally got around to fixing the rust spot I found on the frame last week. It wasn't as big as I thought it would be, guess I caught it early enough.

Made a patch out of the 10 gauge steel I had laying around

Held it in place with the factory jack

And welded it in place. Yes I cut my scores on the wrong side, and this was the only piece of 10 gauge I had that was big enough so I just welded over the score marks for good measure.

Not the pretiest welds I know, but it is solidly in place and I didn't set anything on fire, including myself I do think I need to invest in a good set of welding sleeves or a welding coat before the next time I do any overhead welding.

Now to go spray some undercoating on it and call the jeep work done for the day. Next week new control arm bushings
