I know everyone has been waiting to see what I have been up to, well here it is. I have a 98 Cherokee sport with 150000 miles (I would like to give a big shout out to 2000sahara, thanks ed) that I got for 300.00 here is some photos of it before I tear it apart, it does have a little front end damage no big deal.

To be honest with you the paint is all cracked up under the clear coat on the hood. As far as trim, ill take another look at it -

Cracked paint isn't an issue. Mine is physically damaged from the previous owner failing to make sure the hood was latched before driving off. -
Well hell I could get you xj hoods all day long for 15 to 20 bucks a pop

Good looking SYE.
Were all the parts with it? I was worried some would end up with Sal's half of the T-case. -
I hope so, it all looks right.
The pump screws were lose for some reason. Did you back them off when you took it out? It dont really matter because I used mine. I was just wounding if thats why your bearing went bad -

Yes but it peals off over 60 mph.

False! Nascar refers to it as 200 mph tape for a reason..... -
I know I had to cut the hood open. They had the whole corner taped down
