Did 2 things today. Took it to 100mph (found out the speedo is off, o2 sensor is why the light is on) and changed 1 of the o2 sensors.

I mounted front splash guards because I'm tired of the rocks and mud being thrown up my doors. I'm not that fond of the look, but they're sure effective at protecting the rockers, doors and the front of the floor pans.





I replaced my transmission cooler hose claps with fuel injection type as well.

I just flushed my heater core! Really wish I had been motivated sooner. Only waited 2 years. Lol. I poured in some vinegar and let it sit 30 minutes but not much more really came out. A lot of crud at the beginning. Then spurts of brown here and there while I was flushing back and forth. I was worried it was so plugged that it wouldn't make much difference. But it is as hot as it should be. One thing I always liked about Cherokees is how hot the heat is for the cold winters.

I thought it was me. I was not even sure what I was looking at but all I could think was "WHOA".

I got a new buffer and wax. Decided to put it to use. Works pretty good!

Default Rear Shock Mount Broken Bolt Solution

Worked on front and rear shock replacement. After breaking the heads off both upper mount bolts for one rear shock the other day I found a set of flag nuts from Rough Country. This is the best solution I have found to resolve the problem of bolts broken in the inaccessible nuts that are welded inside the subframe. I test fitted the flag nut assembly and it looks like it will work beautifully. It was a simple task to knock out the existing nuts with an air hammer. I used a 3/8” taper air hammer punch, which was a good size for this application. If you are careful this size does not damage the surrounding sheet metal. The flag nut assembly makes it easy to align nuts with the subframe holes and the tab allows the nut plate to be positioned easily. This eliminates significant time that would be spent drilling out broken bolts or trying to position nuts or bolts up inside the subframe and get a wrench on them where there is very little clearance.
