XJ project MORTY

*burp* "Morty!" - sorry I had to make a Rick and Morty Reference

Love the Cherokee so far, good clean look and simple but functional. Got my sub

I highly recommend Many Glacier for the east side of GNP. My wife and I spend almost every weekend of the summer there. Also while you are in Yellowstone you need to drive the Beartooth highway!

Great looking XJ. I almost went those wheels, too -- nice.

I have to change my plugs this weekend on my '01. I've been getting a random cyl. 3 misfire, and even once got a 1, 2, and 3 misfire, all threw codes. They've been cleared for about a month now without issue.

 

[Mr_Miyagisan]

thanks! my idle smoothed out for sure, luckily I wasn't throwing codes yet

Got the bumper and new steering box on

Loving the look

Finally tested out the range of articulation on the cherokee. Bump stops are at a perfect setting and I'm happily surprised with the setup as a whole

Spent all yesterday fighting the rear driveshaft U-joints. Fun stuff, wish I had a hydraulic press

Spent yesterday installing my driving lights and hoop on the bumper. Happy with how it turned out and love the lights

Still in a holding pattern for my big ticket items, being the ARB, trutrac and gears. I want to get the drivetrain setup first instead of getting the tent or fridge now. it'll give me and the wife more time behind the wheel practicing driving and spotting skills before the big trip, luckily we have a nice off road park about a hour away to put things to the test

No big updates on the jeep as off now. Still sitting on money for my $2700 axle work
But in the mean time we have been enjoying the jeep, take it to the local park pretty often to run the dog

Also took a trip to a state park, sadly no off the beaten path travel in the XJ, lots on foot though haha

Found a great price on a custom rack. Making it out of 1"x1" square tubing, going with a platform style and ill add rails up front for other things if I need them down the road.

 

[Mr_Miyagisan]

Picked up my $160 custom rack yesterday, super happy with it. Great work for the price and made to my specs!
