What did you do to your Cherokee today?

If the guy driving the Red xj did his own work then he is far ahead of the guys bolting on lights abd angry eyes .

Wheeled back home. Drove 750 miles one way, hit some trails, drove 750 miles back loaded up and covered in mud. Got 21 mpg there and about 18-19 on the way back from the added roof rack and probably 100 lbs of mud on the body, in the engine bay and in the air filter. I have got to get rid of that thing.
Pretty disappointed in the KO2s on the rocks. Should've known they wouldn't have gripped as well as MTZs but didn't think it would be that noticeable. Slid off some rocks and landed right on the pumpkin. I wasn't going anywhere but fortunately, my buddy literally pushed me off and I bumped my way up. Sad face.

I took the Jeep out to an event in New Jersey, Jeeps Against Cancer. Saw LOTS of interesting Jeeps out there, mostly Wranglers. But when I spotted an XJ, I had to talk to their owners.
My ride before heading out to Jeep Flow's Jeeps Against Cancer event.
I was invited by the Line-X crew who had four spots reserved for us.
My friend's drone captured me and a friend in front of my XJ.
Of all the XJs I saw, this was one of the best! This guy has been painstakingly modding his ride for the past 16 years! He even converted it from an automatic transmission to a manual. Very impressive build.
Despite the derision by many of the new Cherokee, this guy really had it decked out and boasted about being able to handle tough trails in Rausch.

^that's awesome looking
Changed my coil today. Noticeable improvement on acceleration. Or I'm making it up. Either way, worth the money
