Thanks! Its still weird to realize that I actually own one. When I was in highschool I used to drool over them while scouring craigslist for a used one. Yeah, I try to keep her as clean as possible. The white paint is a blessing and a curse, it gets dirty very quickly, but helps prevent...

Being a floridian hurricanes tend to become a part of life, instead of sitting inside waiting for the storm to pass, my roommate and I headed out to grab some food and see what was going on. While we were out I couldn't help notice the top of one of the University parking garages would be the...

Around this time, my little brother bought his first truck, a 2004 4x4 Dodge Dakota He had grown up riding around in my friend's and I's 4bys, and I used to let him drive the jeep on old forest roads, so it was no surprise when it came time to buy a car, 4 wheel drive was very high on his...

Results: Before: After: I spliced the ARB bumper lights into the corner lights, the extra resistance caused these lights to stay on for nearly twice as long as the front turn signals. ( When signaling with the headlights or driving lights on, front marker light and side marker light...

So I upgraded... Bought through amazon prime with FREE SHIPPING! The first store I ordered through emailed back stating that ARB had found an issue with these products and had stopped shipping these bull bars while they redesigned the bumper... This sounded like B.S. so I emailed ARB who...

Once I got home I finished removing the bumper cap and began piecing the front end back together. Looking like a complete Jeep again! The dent was minor so I decided to try my hand at some body work... grabbed a rubber mallet, some blocks of wood, and a suction cup dent puller from oreillys...

Well, its been a year, looking back, it seems this is the time of year when things finally slow down enough to update this thread. As for updates, got some use out of the roof rack, while heavier items are a bit of a pain to load alone, having the extra storage space is extremely useful when...

95 2 Door Cherokee on some fire roads near home

Poser shots on new camera to provide good documentation of all upgrades at time of the posting: Before the end of Christmas break I took one final jeep ride with my friend in his XJ. After putting a rod through the piston of his old 4.0, the replacement motor was burning a lot of oil and...

What wasn't mentioned in the previous post was the stress involved when towing the boat. This was the first time I had towed with the XJ and the idiot lights were particularly stress inducing. While the Cherokee had never shown any signs of overheating, with no way of monitoring the temperature...

Seeing as its been almost a year since the last update to this thread, I feel it is appropriate to bring it back up to date. Every other Cherokee in this thread (excluding the park ranger) has either been sold, or died. While my best friend (green XJ) stayed in the off-road category, buying a...

Also of note is the starter is extremely difficult to replace. Required a socket wrench universal joint, three fuses, and an extra set of hands, not to mention repositioning transmission lines. By the end, both myself and my father were covered head to toe in oil and grease. (Learned while...

To end the discussion, the radio is fine, after installing a spring to save my mount, the swr was brought down to less than 1.5! (Ch1~1.2 Ch40~1.4). I tested it with my mobile setup (midland with a 2-3 foot mag mount.) At one mile there was little to no static on his end. I plan on testing it...

What makes you say that? The antenna currently isn't tuned

I have had a CB radio mounted in my Jeep for almost a year. I currently have a uniden pro 505 xl with a four foot firestik II antenna. I have not been the most conscientious owner and have, during different four wheeling trips, used only the spring as my antenna, operated with a high SWR for...
