Just wanted to pop in to say and introduce myself.
My name is Jason and I bought my first Cherokee about 13 months ago, and have been trying to fix it up ever since.
I started a youtube channel about my journey, that was sort of supposed to be kind of a personal blog about my experiences. I do not know much about wrenching on vehicles.. I don't own fancy tools... and worst of all, I've always been pretty intimidated to work on my own vehicles.
My goal was to get past all of that, and show, whoever was interested, that it was possible to teach yourself how to fix your own vehicles by watching other youtube videos. I know, kind of a weird premiss, but it sort of got a small following, and its growing slowly. The link is in my signature, if you wanted to check it out.
As for my Jeep, it is coming along... Half way done with the floors, new leaf springs, Tune up and other general maintenance, some steering upgrades, new shocks... I think that might be about all I've done so far.
I will be fabricating a roof rack soon, and doing something about my rusted out rockers (Probably some 2x6 steel tube), I've got a new fuel tank to put on, once it warms up, and then finishing the floors in the cargo area (Same time as when I drop the gas tank).
So, I've still got a ways to go, but am always looking for other Jeep lovers to learn from and maybe, once she's in decent enough condition, to go out wheeling with.
