    Cherokee SYE Installation

    100% agree. I used the same video to give me an idea of what to do. I left the case in the XJ and think we had it done in about 2 hours. Biggest PITA was getting all the old gasket sealant off. Good snap ring pliers really makes the job easy. BTW, take out the fill plug BEFORE you drain it...

    1leg's 2007 Jeep JK 2dr build and gear list

    Hi Jerry. Okay, now seeing the pics, I was not dreaming when I saw your rig at the Electric drags. I was thinking it was taller and you had bigger tires but I had not recalled seeing anything posted on ExPo about it. It sure looks good. Hope to get out wheeling with you one of these days...

    RE driveshaft

    Sorry no advice but everything I have read says this is a PITA thing to do. I hope to never need to do a field repair but for normal maintenence it's going to a driveshaft shop. Good luck!

    My solution for XJ drink holders.

    Yeah, I did get it and sent you a reply PM. Did you get that one??? I verified the address you had and it's correct. It's been there since 1973 so it's not like a new address. I am definitely still interested and had offered to send you some money to cover the second attempt to ship. Let me...

    My solution for XJ drink holders.

    It would be a '96 or earlier, as there was no built in cup holders. There are a couple OEM and aftermarket cup holder add-ons but this is definitely the cleanest I have seen. I am going to send this thread to a buddy of mine. BTW, the '97-'01 XJ interiors were redesigned and they added the...

    Polycomposit campers from France

    Man, these things rock. Wish there was something like these in the US. I like the fact they replace the bed on a pickup. Looks more purposeful and I am sure you get some added space.

    trailer suspension

    This is very commonly done on lowered trucks. Remove all but the main leaf and then add airbags to allow adjustable height. If you want to add adjustable load capacity without changing ride height, then this would be a great setup. If you want independent suspension, well that's obvious it...

    Its Alive

    Hey, I caught that. :sombrero: Get back to work you bum. :ar15: :bike_rider:

    Its Alive

    Nice!!! Looks very factory. My guess is, you don't live in CA. With the smog nazi's, this would be a PITA conversion. Too bad Jeep doesn't seem to be putting in anything else then the minivan engine. :(

    Do it yourself bed liners

    Good deal. I am very happy with how the bed turned out. If you would have seen all the surface rust pock marks, dings and dents, which I worked on a few of them, you would not even think this was the same bed floor. I did find that if you tape off areas not to be coated, pull your tape fairly...

    Do it yourself bed liners

    I did a bunch of research regarding DIY bedliners. Based on the number of different forums and web sites, there were a lot of bad responses to a host of the more popular named ones. I would guess to say for every good result, there was 5 bad ones. One that I found that conintually got good...

    Wow, I realized I never got any pics up. :oops: Here you go.

    On Board Toilet

    As nice at that would be, I seriously doubt there will be a "built in" privy. Having a Kamparoo, the design the new AT trailer is based on, there is no build in method that is really doable, especially if you want it inside. What we have done is to setup the PETT inside on the hard floor, so...

    C.Shontz 2001 Jeep Cherokee (Progress)

    If you were still running the stock, high mileage track bar with your lift, that's exactly why it wore out. First with the high mileage, things are going to start showing wear but then add a lift and it greatly accelerates this, since the factory one was never designed (and a stupid design at...

    01XJ: A/C Not Working - Advice?

    Well, it could be good news or bad. I have read a number of reports on different forums about '99-'01 Cherokees and Grand Cherokees having issues with evap unit in the dash. Apparently when they were manufactured, the "acid" used to clean the parts prior to brazing the tubes together is not...
