What did you do to your Cherokee today?
No, I don't lick fish.

(Yesterday afternoon) I started pinning out the rear interior harness of the MJ to adapt the front 93 XJ interior harness because the connectors and wires are different.

Ya and I was going to get some from you but now that the Jeep has moved to a DD, I dont want something so sturdy and stiff. So I went a different route, a route that I have yet to see someone else go. Ill make a post about it once I get them installed. They were cheap anyways. If I dont like them, your are next on my list.
Your poor XJ. Its just jealous you are driving the MJ now. Hopefully you get it all sorted out. Bring it over one day and ill fix it for you.
I ordered new unit bearings since the one on my broken axle shaft was a little loose, and I'm about to order new heims for the steering since they have gotten a little worn. The Cherokee still misfires, and I have a trans cooler sitting in the garage for it. I haven't felt like messing with it, and don't know exactly what to do so it's sitting.

I've got to do this on mine soon...unfortunately not much good metal left so I'm going to have to order some metal and weld in patches.
Did this a few days ago:
Got some LED bars mounted up on the back, still need to figure out wiring
Click for full res
Found out wire wheels go through bondo fast!
Click for full res
Got the drivers side looking nicer

I'll just meet someone right after work to sell the Cherokee. It only misfires when it's been sitting for a while, so I'll start it before they get there. Then, there's too much traffic to get up to death wobble speeds. Perfect plan. I do have a problem with bringing it over to your place to get it fixed. It would take forever at 40ish mph....
I replaced a blown motor mount tonight. Will do the other sometime. We will see how these do.

I don't know about you, but my Cherokee pretty much gets right around 13 mpg. Cruising down the highway, stop and go traffic, dirt road, paved road, pulling a trailer, being pulled on a trailer. It always gets about the same. Maybe a mpg better or worse, but pretty much 13.
