What did you do to your Cherokee today?
::CF Administrator::
I don't care to slam, but I like to have a well balanced system. The type r has always been good and I got the ssd 12 for free so I figure I'd fix it up and use it. I'm sure everyone else has their opinions on audio too, but that's just my opinion. I don't rock a sound system in the jeep much, but the Jetta has a bad strut bearing that drives me crazy so I turn it up so I can't hear it till I get around to fixing it...
In case you don't know, they're the guys from Car Talk on NPR...that's their most common fix for strange noises on vehicles, haha
BTW I love music, I just have never really gotten into it in my jeep for some reason...when I get into my XJ, I just wanna drive it, and enjoy that experience. Trust me, I have listened to music in it, but overall, I would just as soon have it turned off, I like driving my jeep with zero distractions. To each his own.

So today I pulled and replaced my plugs, which were Bosch triple platinum yata yada with some Champion Copper Cores. Thanks to many posts on here from forum members that swear up and down that Champion is the way to go. So I did the plugs and also replaced the IAC valve but it really seems to be running much better. Also painted the underside of my hood with some flat black primer. I was getting tired of the hood being an eyesore.

Well damn, I finally had some free time to start installing these dang tube flares. Got the driver's side mocked up, holes drilled, and new fender formed. Took it back off for paint.
Got snagged on the passenger side. The PO had some body work done and bondo'ed over half of the spot welds. Now I can't see them to do my cut and fold fender trimming on that side.
I feel like I'm in one of those police simulations with the scary masked men you're suppose to shoot. But you have to becareful because there are hostages.
The passenger side was suppose to be cake! No giant bundle of wires, no gas door, no limited access. Bah. Pulled the beast into the garage for the afternoon. Got busy with other things. Thoughts?

1) Assuming the welds are in the same places on both sides, you could make a template of cardboard or paper to transfer to pass. side.
2) Can you see the welds from the inside of the cargo compartment? Drill a small pilot hole slightly away from each weld and use the holes as the reference point then fill from the inside when done to seal.

A couple of possibilities:
1) Assuming the welds are in the same places on both sides, you could make a template of cardboard or paper to transfer to pass. side.
2) Can you see the welds from the inside of the cargo compartment? Drill a small pilot hole slightly away from each weld and use the holes as the reference point then fill from the inside when done to seal.

I wonder if I can apply point 1 and look on the drives side and try to measure and approximate where they are on the passenger side.

Oh, I may have phrased that wrong. This is the cut and fold for fender trimming. You can't see them from inside the cabin. These are the little spot welds all the way around the rear fender, just behind the flare.

Or could you just remove the bondo?

Since the wife's birthday is coming up, I figured I'd work on her baby (WJ). I replaced the muffler, cleaned the k&n, and seafoamed it. I'm surprised the OEM muffler lasted 133k. Now time for a beer and ill order some more Jeep parts since I just got paid. Earn and burn.

Solved my "where to keep this damn jack" dilemma! Made my own mount for it, problem solved.
Goodbye stupid roof rack!
Did a how-to write-up, it's in my build page if anybody's curious.
