I just have 3 sets between those my daily and the 2 door most of the parts are coming from so I'm not worried, those are the worst shape ones anyways amd once it's drivable I want to get the qp armor with the tail light boxes ordered. The wiper motor, sqirts, and harness for the 3rd brake light and plate lights are all shot. My plan is to run a blazer tire carrier off the qp armor and have a 3rd brake light like one from a tj and my cb antenna ran through the hole where the wiper arm pokes out of the hatch.

Thanks! I found out by accident. With the new LEDs in I could see all kinds of crud in there, so I took it to the kitchen sink to clean 'em up and realized the grime was in between two layers. I easily pried them apart with a flat head and thought I may as well leave them out.

Yea lol that's what I thought also, never seen or experienced something like this. But with the new shocks and manifold exhaust, sounds and feels like a new Jeep again!
When I got ready to install my new exhaust manifold I was a little anxious so I don't have a full video of me replacing it, just parts of it, but if you guys don't mind, the link is attached to this message if you would like to view it.

Jesus no, lol but I saw a crack in one of the pipes a week ago and I thought that was it alone. So I bought a new exhaust manifold and when I took the old one out I notice more than just a crack! Lol

Rear disc brakes
Went for the junkyard upgrade on the rear brakes. Just got tired of brake spring hardware rusting away. Northern climates bring salt, and salt sucks. All said and done cost was $250. Had to fabricate two simple brackets to mount the Grand Cherokee brake lines. Really was a no brainer job though.
Parking brake
Fabricated brake line bracket. Fits over spring u-bolt nicely.
And all wrapped up.
