Drove it to the Detailer to have all the Death Valley & Mendocino National Forrest washed off (inside & out)...

Got some good used parts from a local internet ad yesterday, while looking at my rig the seller (another Jeep nut) noticed a small crack in the heater hose on my Cherokee that I missed. Bought some heater hose on the way home and while trying to change it, the fitting broke off the heater control valve (plastic, and why?). So bought a new heater control valve today to get that put back together tomorrow on my day off. Also got the molded hoses to go from the control valve to the heater core fittings at the firewall because I figure if the main hoses were bad enough to replace, those likely are too.

Got some material for starting the drawers for the rover as well as got some small projects done (replacing headlight lamps, installing some switches).

I also did a regular vehicle check and noticed this weird gunk on my air filter. When i tried to rub it off with my finger is felt wet and acted kinda like mud/grease. No smell and none of it anywhere else but the filter. Any ideas?

I was right those new lights do look good going down the road on the back of a tow truck.[emoji23]

Picked up the Yellow Top I've been ogling for awhile. Pep Boys has a 25% off promo right now which took the total down to $192 for the 34/78 model with top and side terminals.

I'd installed the battery mount a few weeks back and the dual battery kit delivers tomorrow from Amazon. Funny enough the cover still fits right over the battery so I may keep using it. So the next few days should be interesting as I do my first dual battery wiring install.

I also replaced the worn out struts for the hood which kept falling randomly. Now you really need to pull down to get the hood closed which is perfect. Thank you liftsupportdepot.com

Installed Genesis battery system, JW speaker front and rear lights, CM foot pegs and 11 gallon propane tank. Can't wait for this weekend.
The propane tank looks a little scary hanging off the side like that to me, hope it doesn't give you any issues.
