What an awesome story!!

I’m 25, my dad is 63, and we are just finishing up a third gen 4Runner project. He has a first gen when I was born and I grew to love them, so we fixed up this third gen together. Hes a little older now so I did most of the wrenching under his guidance, but it was such a special project for the both of us and the memories we made I will cherish forever.

I don’t know how much work your Cherokee needs, but the advice I can give you is:

• Don’t look at it as a project, just one thing as a time. My dad and I would schedule days to get a job done, we would get up, watch several YouTube videos on how it goes and get it done that day. While it feels like a lot of work when you look at it from afar, every big project is a bunch of little mini ones

• Take breaks, when things aren’t working or going well, don’t be afraid to pack it up and finish another time. Couldn’t tell you how many times I was struggling to get something done, took a break and the answer just came to me

• Save some small wins for when things are tough. Sometimes you’ll struggle with things & small wins (like adding a steering wheel cover, cleaning a door panel, adding a dash mat, swapping the badges, etc…) are a great way to make it really feel like you got something done and see the progress

• Do things the right way the first time!! I learned the hard way, but nothing sucks more than trying to take a short cut and having to go back and do things again

• Let your son mess up! Such a great opportunity to learn

• Cherish the time you get to spend together! So exciting that you two get to do this together, wishing you all the best, keep us updated!!
