    Question about factory alarm

    most aftermarket alarm systems actually have adjustable sensitivity... that is, you can turn them down low enough to where they will ONLY go off if a door is open or something really big hits them hard. so... for guys like me who have an XJ with power-nothing and no security, an aftermarket...

    what size tires

    take it easy on the tires you have now and just keep saving up for a lift... its worth it. you could get into a complete 3" lift kit for a little over 200, which isn't bad at all. i would definitely go ahead and put a lift on before i bought an entire new set of tires... because then you're...

    unibody?

    XJ Factory Service Manuals found - Click for details i would guess that it might have some negative effect... but nothing major. i've been stuck in a few situations where the body of my jeep has been under some pretty heavy torque and stress... and when i opened the door it was fine (except it...

    Ohio Wheelin...???

    i'm at a college in ohio called cedarville university right now. i'm a freshman here and don't have my jeep YET (its still at home...), so i'm not real familiar with the area. i'm about 45 min. outside of columbus... kinda near dayton and springfield (if anybody knows where that is). i'm from...

    Does anyone make money...........

    i go around in the winter and sit at the bottom of snow covered hills just waiting for some unequipped vehicle to make an attempt to get up. well they never get far... and as soon as they back down i go over and offer help (either a ride home, or pull their car up with a tow strap). most of them...

    Scratches

    as long as they aren't deep... a good coat of wax will fix them right up. make sure you use a GOOD wax though (zymol, etc...), that has carnauba wax in it, as this will buff the minor scratches out and polish the surface.

    Question about factory alarm

    if you buy a good after market alarm, i wouldn't even worry about keeping the factory alarm operating because the new one would be so much better. look into some from viper... or really any of the DEI brands. they're all great. i have a brand called avital on mine (which is a DEI brand) and am...

    Small XJ lift options

    well if ALL you want to do is put 30's on... you should be fine, especially if your suspension isn't sagging any. i fit BFG 30x9.5 a/t's on my stock 97. it will be a little tight... but it shouldn't rub or cause any probs. if you are set on a lift though, replace as much of the components as you...

    I need some XJ Experts Opinion!

    i agree that the newer (97+) XJ's have a problem with vibration if they are lifted... but it is easily remedied with a t-case drop (for 3" lift or less atleast). cherokees received a complete re-design in 97... making them much more appealing on the interior and adding a few nice touches...

    Wheel question

    when you space the wheels out and give your vehicle a wider stance... it places the tires directly under the FLARES, instead of under the actual wheel wells. i had this problem when i spaced mine out with some AR-767 rims. this is nothing major... but it will cause your tires to rub on your...

    loose exhust

    i had a similar problem... although not exactly in the same location of the exhaust system (mine was rattling against the gas tank shield...). i would suggest checking along the frame near the exhaust pipe for any possible mounting points for an entirely new hanger. there might even be some...

    Must run in the blood....

    i would always drive mine (with my parents close behind ofcourse... haha) to dairy queen and back, which was almost 4 miles round trip. the thing could make it on one charge... pretty impressive! i guess i was too hard on it though, burnt out the engine in four of them... but good ol' power...

    what size tires?

    haha... 44's would be nice, but for a serious answer i would go with 29 or so (maybe 30...). i used to run 30X9.50 on my stock cherokee... and as far as i know the wheel well clearance and all is about the same.
