    I actually have this module. It’s called a Power Window Automation System. I haven’t installed it yet.

    Getting those top bell housing bolts is fun. I used a six foot socket extension, two wobble joints, and hit it from behind the transfer case.

    Sounds about like working on a Jeep Cherokee, then.

    The torque converter is going out on my friend’s 1994 Grand Cherokee. You can’t pay me to do transmission work on that thing.

    The 4.0l is a beautiful engine though, and very easy to work on. I changed the Power Steering pump without much difficulty.

    I really don't think the transmission is much different than doing it on any other RWD/4WD vehicle.

    It's all caked in oil and grease and broken dreams.

    Crutchfield says the components I chose for the front won't fit but I was able to bolt them in without cutting anything. I only had to make new mounting holes for the speakers on the adapter plates.

    Crutchfield said the coaxials fit the rear with minor cutting & that was accurate. I only had to trim the stock speaker basket & they bolted right in.

    Only $100! They have ones that fit the DC? Please tell me more!

    Yeah, but I’m so caught up in bigger projects on my build it hasn’t bothered me.

    New shocks and lower ball joints today.
    Put 5100s on and it rides so much better. The old ones were completely shot.

    Does anyone have any literature on what I should do with my 3rz intake? I really want to rip this janky CAI out and go in a better direction. Any thoughts also appreciated.
