    XRC Smittybuilt rear bumper - keep looking

    In response to clydefrog,,,, there is no debate that the bumper checks all the boxes on what you want. I agree with that. I am just pointing out to others, that they should know going in that you will either 1) need to buy more hardware and parts (if you are 2000 or newer or have a skid plate...

    XRC Smittybuilt rear bumper - keep looking

    I dont usually push out derogatory info on the web. I usually find it to be a waste of time. This bumper however needs to be redesigned and I thought I could save others some time. I should point out that I have been in cherokees for about 20 years and know them pretty well. I am also a...

    Need input from EVERYONE

    Hey all, I am starting a new project and wanted to get input from everyone. I have noticed while digging around here that it seems the first thing we all do is add a lift and tires then move onto bumpers etc. (assuming it is running right). Maybe I am wrong but the 1000 "check out my bumper"...

    Mismatch parts, need a little help

    I have a 96 XJ SE. It came factory with no center console (floor). Just shifter, 4x4 lever and Ebrake between the seats. Center mount not offset. I got tired of not having any storage or an armrest so I bought one online used from ebay. Slid right in except for having to take a little off...

    Jeep Starting. Is this normal?

    Ya know, now that I am thinking about it more, I had to replace the manifold and part of that process said I needed to bleed the fuel. When I hit the valve it just dripped out instead of spraying from pressure like I thought it would. However, then when I went to emission test it, they said my...

    Jeep Starting. Is this normal?

    Hi everyone, I have a 1996 4.0 with 135k miles on it. It runs strong, no issues at all. However, when I start it, it seems to take a bit. Probably 5 cranks and then pops off. This only happens when it has been sitting for awhile. Meaning if I stop, go in somewhere for a half hour and come...

    Belt Squeak Only With A/C

    96 Cherokee 4.0 . Bought my Cherokee, runs like a champ. However, I get a squeal ONLY when the a/c is turned on. Took off belt (looks like new) and replaced it with a brand new one. A/C works perfectly. Squealing goes away as engine heats up, but it is crazy annoying. Assuming I am...
