Walked past it several times, stopped and stared at it and smiled.

Thursday I installed the new tri link and yesterday I replace the ac compressor bearing plus the magnet and clutch. They were all destroyed. Today I am driving it to the airport to park it in the garage for a week. Work is sending me up to Calgary Canada.

Thanks Leeann, I have been wavering on replacing or rebuilding. I am going to crawl under again and look at the whole thing closer to see how bad it is with rust. My mopar mechanic friend and I were talking today at church and he warned me of the pain they are to rebuild.

Thanks for posting all the years/models affected. My daughter just started driving her 04 Grand Cherokee around. I will have to look into this

Ordering the bushings and ball joint tomorrow for the boomerang. Figured out my wonderful vibration at 65 mph is those worn out bushings back there. Might as well put the new u joints in while I have things apart.

Replaced the front brake lines yesterday hoping it helps with the pulling left during braking. Trimmed the front plastic off in the front wheel wells to quiet the tire rubbing. Helped a little but didn't get rid of it completely.

I love Maryland springs. Snow in the morning then warm in the afternoon to frost at night then in the 70's the next day. It always a game of weather roulette this time of year.

Yep super easy repair. I did mine during an hour lunch break and I agree if its out do both ends and know its all good. It cost me $100 with shipping getting the parts from the link in Toms post.

Thanks I copied the idea from the ones they sell for the Wranglers. I still need to add the plastic edge moulding and to paint the wood grey to match the rear gates plastic.

Crawled around the front end on my lunch break and froze my butt off but I did find a bulge in the left front brake line that looks like the size of a pea. Looks like I will be replacing brake lines this weekend. Thanks for all the advice everyone.

Yeah I agree not many around here that are lifted. I have seen one other than the one in my driveway. So what were you doing in Hagerstown taking pictures out of dirty 3rd floor windows? :emotions34:

That shelf is cool and I like your storage on the gate. I have something similar that folds down to a shelf that I made

Caliper doesn't seem to be stuck. It lets go when I release the brake and drives normal. I was thinking maybe the brake lines could be a possibility. I just replaced all the hardware and greased them up good a few weeks ago hoping that was the problem. I am wondering if the brakes might be...

I would stay away from that first shop. I know a head gasket job around here runs about $2000.

Drove it the 60 miles round trip to work and back. Still trying to figure out the vibration it has at 65 mph and the stupid brakes in front on and off make it pull left. I am going to try bleeding those to see if that fixes the problem. If anyone has suggestions on what to check for the...
