    Water leaking in

    I'd just find a windshield shop and get it fixed. BTW the ABS version has the turd of an axle the D35 and the non ABS has the much stronger Chryco 8.25. The 97 and up versions are 29 spline and close to D44 strength.

    Axle

    The 44a has a slightly different cover than those shown.

    Axle

    Your front is a low pinion, standard rotation D30. Rear is one of two, D35 or D44a. Both rears are c-clipped and not considered great for more than a 33 open. The 35 is the smaller of the two and the 44a (not to be confused with a D44) has an aluminum center section. Most V8s came with the...

    Water leaking in

    It's a common issue with the 97+ XJs. It is a clogged drain and I've yet to get mine to stop but it only does it if it's parked facing uphill, even slightly.

    extra Dana 44a

    The 44a is the only 44 with c-clips and depending on what year determines the bolt pattern. Late 95-98 ZJs have a 5x4.5 bolt pattern just like a YJ,TJ and XJ, the 99 and newer have a 5x5 bolt patten like a JK.

    extra Dana 44a

    It's also c-clipped and uses different lockers and such than a standard 44. And it's a rear axle.

    Steering Wheel

    If you don't have safety inspections and it's not a daily driver loose the air bag. You won't find an adapter for your model due to the air bag but when I did my 97 XJ I used one for an 88 model and it worked fine.

    radio removal from 01 cherokee

    The plastic surround that goes from the bottom of the dash around the rear wiper switch all the way up to the radio including the HVAC controls has to be removed. It just pops off. Start on one side on the bottom, then other bottom side and work your way up. The radio bolts in and you'll need...

    Winch capacity

    My M8000 pulls me just fine, 38s and all and I've had them pretty much burried. Rule of thumb is 1.5 times the vehicle weight. I have a snatch block just in case as well.

    I got them through a local shop but just about any shop that carries the regular ones can get blems. I haven't checked their site but on Intercos they list blems and they are cheap.

    If you look around you can find blems. The last ones I had the white letter was scratched on them, I don't run white letters out anyway, and I paid 650 for 4 35s.

    86 Cherokee

    3.8 will go in pretty easily, 4.3 takes some work. It also has the BA-10 trans that isn't know for it's strength and longivity.

    Mileage will vary but an all terrain is closer to a street tire and will outlast pretty much any mud tire. Mud tires tend to be softer and the tread blocks spaced farther apart so they wear faster.

    mickey thompson baja mtz ???

    I ran them for a couple of years on my XJ and had good luck with them. I ran single digits without beadlocks a few times on 35s and never lost a bead. They take a little more throttle to clean than a TSL but still not bad. All around good tire in my opinion.

    New 6" Rough Country Long Arm Lift

    Good luck with it. On my buddys XJ version the welds broke on the cross member and caved in and they told us it was due to abuse. This happened on the first trip out running 33s on an easy trail. Plan on replacing the bushings often as well.

    yj/jk body conversion

    JK is wider than a YJ or CJ but with some mods could be made to work.

    shocks

    You would take the chance of bottoming them out when you compress the suspension. Measure full droop and compression with the shocks disconnected and order by those measurements.
