1989 Jeep Cherokee LIFTED ON 33's! there is the craigslist listing, it has pictures and more info.

MySpace There is a link to some pictures, thought it might help.

Yea, it does have the 4.0 w/ auto. Forgot about that stuff, haha. It definitely runs nice and it's definitely used for offroading. haha. As I said its not clean, got some mud inside and out. Not a jeep for someone who doesn't like to get dirty, haha.

Hey man, how's the stomper doing, last time I saw it you had some steering stuff going on right? The Rubicon is great, everything I wanted... only had it for less than 24 hours, so still getting used to everything, just hoping everything stays awesome with it, haha, *crosses fingers*

I'm located in the belmar/wall area in monmouth county, like, 8 blocks from the ocean. *things I forgot to post about jeep* It does run really well, My girlfriend lives about an hour away and I drive to here house at least 2 times a week, never has a problem going 70mph for an hour, haha...

Got any hints, tips or tricks to make it run cooler? Mine is running at around 210, untill I'm in stop and go traffic or wheelin hard... then it goes up in the 220-230 range. Very recently I have installed a new Rad, water pump, thermostat housing, hoses, coolant bottle... basically you name...

Well, over the weekend I put in a new distributor cap and rotor button, the spark plug wires had all been replaced about a month ago so I put some dielectric grease on all the connections, replaced the fuel filter and checked for fuel pressure.... and it still ran the same exact (bad) way. So...

This morning my jeep started, ran at a low idle then when I put it in gear and hit the gas it died. It preceded to do this three more times, so I let it sit for a good 6 hours. I just started it up and let it idle for 5 minutes and now it seems to be running fine... any ideas about the problem...

Does anyone know the location? I can't seem to find it... I found the coolant temperature sending unit, but that's not what I need, haha. I'm diagnosing an overheating problem... I have a new radiator, water pump, thermostat, thermostat housing, belts... but the electric fan is not coming on at...

Well I do have a longer adjustable trac bar, so maybe I just need to adjust it? haha, damn my steering system.

Alright, thanks everyone. I think I'm gonna probably go with just checking over the whole steering system and make sure I know exactly where the problem is coming from before I go out and buy stuff that I might not need. Thanks again.

Yea, that was probably me, I'm from the Lake Como/Belmar area. I definitely hang around Brick too.

Hey I have the 4.5" Rusty's lift and I seem to be getting some binding in the steering system. What amount of drop for a pitman arm do you suggest? I've been getting different stories from people I know ranging from 1.25" to 5". Thanks

Thanks! It definitely does need some more trimming, which is what I'll be doing tomorrow after work. At this point I get some nice rubbing at full lock when the suspension is flexed at all. As for the rear, I might just trim to the spot welds and bumpstop the rest. I'm not much of a rock crawler...
