    2" lift 31" tires 99 Cherokee Sport

    1045323 With only 2" the rear tires will be eaten up before you know it. Front will rub fender flares too. What you need to do is cut out the underside of the rear flares and then bend up as much as the outer lip of the body as you can (the part the fender covers). or, you can extend the...

    oil filter leak

    1045325 I have been trying to replace my O-rings forever now. The bolt that holds the housing on is so friggin tight that I can't get it off. Is there something inside the housing that holds the main bolt in(like another bolt)? In other words, do you have to remove the filter first and unscrew...

    Interior lights

    1045432 My cherokee does that too...such a lame design not putting a switch on the light like every other car. I just put a switch in my front light so it doesn't come on when I open the door and I just took the bulb out of the rear light. [addsig]

    oil filter leak

    1045523 That was the initial plan until I learned that the distance between the bolt head and the engine mount next to it is about 1.5", just enough room for a torx socket, but not enough room for the essential ratchet. I just got this done today after a month long search for the tool I needed...

    Electric cooling fan

    1045982 The fan on my 97 does that all the time too...more when the A/C is on. Gets pretty annoying because it is so damn loud. I have been keeping my ears open to other XJs in parking lots and what not and I almost always hear a fan running. With the ABS thing, my 97 Camry does that at bumpy...

    I need help installing aftermarket temp guage

    1045379 Anyone done this on a 97+ 4.0L XJ? I need an empty port to put the sensor in and I can't use any of the factory coolant temperature sender holes because the computer needs those to function properly. Someone suggested putting a new hole in the thermostat housing next to the factory...
