This past sunday, I aw a nice 97+ cherokee in Easton, MA entering the woods. It was red with 31's and 3" lift. It looked like it had a winch out front and a high lift monted on the roof rack. I would have followed it into the woods, but I was with my wife in her Honda Pilot.

My 2000 XJ has front tow hooks, Rusty's t-case skid, rear hitch with tow hook, a power trax no-slip in the rear, and stock 225 75 tires. I was out wheeling on Easter afternoon and as I was going through a couple mud holes when I could hear rocks or something banging off the skid plate. So i...

I locked the rear first. 8.25 rear with a no-slip. It works great and is quiet. In the rear it is working for you all the time 2wd or 4wd. Jim

I had a powertrax no-slip installed this week. The unit works great. It has very good street manners and is silent. I have not been out on any serious trails with it yet. What little trail time I have done, it has worked flawlessly. It made huge difference in the mud as well as hill...

Tell me how you make out . I want to do a 2" lift for my 2000 cherokee. I wanted to go 2" hoping I would not get vibes, but that doen't seem to be the case. I don't want to spend the coin on an SYE. Thanks, Jim

I think it is a 8.25, I am just looking for a second opinion. I am trying to figure out how to post a pic right now. Thanks, Jim

I have a 2000 cherokee sport and need help with the rear diff id. I looked at the rear dif and there is a tag attached to one of the diff cover bolts that says 35. After seeing this I thought I had a dana 35. I just looked at some axle id websites and it looks like I have a 8.25. Does that tag...

Re: Need help from smart people: creating an "ice warning" LED in the cluster? The temp probe in the car will read the same temp as outside. If the outside temp is 35 degrees and you start driving at 10 mph the temp is still going to read 35 degrees. If you drive at 90 mph the temp is still...

Re: Need help from smart people: creating an "ice warning" LED in the cluster? With regard to wind chill. I beleive only warm blooded living things are affected by wind chill, not all objects. Jim

I just installed a rusty's transfer case skid. The skid bolted through the middle of the crossmember (thickest part). Just drill your holes so they dont interfere with the exhaust pipe brackets or the bottom of the transfer case. Jim
