I have had my 79 Cherokee for almost 9 years now. When I got it I was told it would run just fine and needed a rebuilt tcase. I took it home and rebuilt the tcase with a new chain. The chain was severly stretched out and rubbing the inside of the case. After I got done with the rebuilt of the tcase, I found the transmission would only go in reverse. It got parked at my cousins for a year or so until I saved up to put in a new tranny I bought from someone online. Once I got that tranny in, it slipped and would not drive. It got parked again for a bit while I did other little things to it: new/used leaf springs, oil pump, timing change, spark plugs, etc. It got forgotten about for a number of years parked in my friends shop in Tooele. My wife bought a house while I was out of town with a 3 car garage (enuf said, I was sold). I brought the Chief back to our new house and slowly tinkered with a few things here and there. I was diagnosed with stage 4 colorectal cancer in December 2010 and my motivations suddenly changed. My wife told me to stop talking about building me Jeep and start actually building it.
