Not yet. The skid is in my garage (along with some other items that all need to be installed). The Savvy gas tank skid requires dropping your gas tank to install. You can find pics and all the info you need on the Savvy website

Put the Rusty's exhaust on the ZJ. Didnt put the tail pipe on because I think I am just going to do a turn down coming right off the muffler cuz it sounds pretty good without the tail pipe on. Hopefully I can do the shocks on the XJ this weekend and the steering box brace as well.

Lowered and balanced my tire pressures today, and drove the Jeep in to work to see if that helped with my vibrations. They're gone!
Froze my booty off, though. Now it's time to put the doors with the windows in them on the XJ.

Pulled the two front doors off of my Jeep today, and replaced them with doors that have working power windows. Doors aren't the same color as the rest of the Jeep, but that's OK. Hooray for 2x4s and ratchet straps!
Pulled out the razor blade and cleaned all the vinyl off of the windshield and all the stickers off the back window. Also managed to peel off one coat of tint off the rear hatch window. Now I can almost see out the back! I'll have to take a razor blade to the rest of the tint to eliminate it completely.

A while back I put on my new radius arm brackets and the welds weren't the best, a ton better than the original welds but not what I wanted on it. Yesterday, I cut off the brackets reprepped everthing and reinstalled them with much better welds. Today I got the front axle back underneath it with the new gears and limited slip.

Which radiator did you get? An upgrade is on the list for me, but I'm not sure which one.

Must be something in the air… I bought a used (hardly) radiator from someone off Craigslist today for $44 and it even had a new temp sensor for the secondary fan installed. What a sweet deal!
Drove to work in the Jeep today. Doors are sealed up nice, no wind noise at highway speed. Just have to fix the mirrors up, which I should be able to do between the two sets of doors I now have.

Did a little sea foam action on the XJ to clean out the injectors, then I thought to myself 'why not do the crankcase?', well it worked well, couldnt see across the street for a bit but the Cherokee runs better now. Still planning on replacing the fuel pump since it has close to 200k on it.
Oh and Justin, I might take you up on that offer for some parts from OReily's. I think the Cherokee is going to need all the stuff you did to yours. Oh and before I forget, you still want my lift kit. I am planning on ordering new leaf packs and new coils and getting rid of the old one, so if you want it, its yours.

I did that sea foam to my truck. What a fricken mess that makes, but it is fun acting all hillbilly, drinkin Coors Light, and yellin' yeeeh haw while reving that engine to 6 grand. Who am I kidding…..I don't have to act.

Not the Jeep, but installed a new hitch and trailer brake controller on the F350 to haul the jeep. Easy install, but broke the spare tire winch in the process. There's another fix…

I have a slight grinding / ticking in the front end and death wobble is starting to rear its ugly head! Replaced my wheel hubs (right one has some water damage), fixed egged out hole for track bar (axle end), replaced trackbar bushing, and went back to the Rough Country 2.2 shocks.
No more grinding, wobble, and stiffened up the ride – whats next…
