What did you do to your Cherokee today?

salad - Here you go ... PA Pt.# 8683708 ... and I erred, it was $39.99 (sorry about that). I've never seen these at PA before so it's probably just an occasional item for them. I'm sure if you phone ahead to the Kingston store they'd let you know if they have them.

So I ended up going to the store and picking up 5 quarts of 20w-50 motor oil for my jeep, and hopefully I will have the primer on it soon. Just need to get through the weekend lol

Basslicks - I've seen the Northern Tool type and they are a bit narrow for most Jeep tires. Princess Auto has those too. The Cabela's design looks good but it doesn't have a platform (only 2 steps). The 12"x16" platform on this one is surprisingly sturdy.
I had planned on making something similar out of an old, cheap hand truck that I have. It would have given me the "loop" for the platform. I was going to cut it down and weld a piece of expanded metal on to it as well as some simple u-brackets on the underside for the pivot points. The ladder/stand would be pretty straightforward to fabricate. I still may do that but I'll be happy to try this one out in the meantime.

pulled the t case and installed the tcase adapter in put seal that i neglected to install the first time around.
i also decided to use the clocked up position since the front yoke was to close to the crossmember

Found out that weird pop noise I was getting is actually the track bar bracket bolts coming loose. Hmm. What to do.

I built my first ever successful wood-working project. I've never been able to get stuff square, but this time I ended up within a 1/32" from being perfect, and I can take care of that with the sander.
I removed the rear seat with the intent of a two-section cargo box for tools, gloves, toilet paper, first aid kit, tow straps, tree strap, clevis, ****** block, etc.
I went with 1/2" plywood figuring I would end up scrapping it once I messed it all up, and if I didn't, I could disassemble it later and use the pieces as templates with some better wood.
Inside dimensions are about 16.25" f to r, 11" deep, and 22" and 19" wide (appears the driveshaft tunnel is not in the exact center ).
The only thing left is to figure out how to hinge the two lids so that you can open them standing in the rear door, hinged in the middle, but not have a huge gap between lids...any ideas/thoughts?
