lol @ 2004 It was the radiator. ;)

I still dig this.

It'd be awesome if you could make this available, Detour. Its the only bumper / tire carrier setup that I'm remotely interested in. What do you need from us to produce it? ...or would you "custom fab" it upon request? I want to free up the interior for gear, keep the weight to a minimum, and...

I used stuff. Worked great!

Love the "if you actually wheel it" comments. Imagine for a moment that people might be able to enjoy driving off-road without mangling, or even coming in contact with their stock rear bumpers. Your hardcore style of wheelin' is not the only style of wheelin.

I need to install load bars on my XJ for a roof top tent. I'm leaning toward the Thule gutter mount setup, but my only concern is how high this setup is over the roof line. I'd prefer it if the load bars were lower profile. Thule's vehicle look-up guide shows different options, but doesn't show...

I have JKS Quick Disconnects ... had 'em for a long time, kept 'em maintained for the most part. They're stubborn, and take a good bit of ass to operate. Now they're developing slop, and just being more high maintenance than I'd like. Its been a while since I've been disco shopping. Has...

Believe me, I wouldn't be doing it for looks - just for preparedness. That is a good suggestion, though - I will take a look under the seat to see what kind of real estate I have under there. Weight on the carrier, and outdoor exposure are valid concerns, although I would hope that your tailbone...

I too have a TailBoner. I'm somewhat torn, though. Do I want to put the 245 on the tailgate and reduce visibility, or try to keep it jammed in the back? It would be nice to gain the extra cargo space, but I also like to see out the back window. I also want to start carrying my manky old...

X3 Keep talkin', Detour. Your design is nearly dead-on, and my interest is piqued. The tailgate clear the hinge okay? I appreciate the creative detail, but available without the flames? Fit over stock hitch? Would love to see a vertical Hi-Lift and gas/water can mount like the Wilderness. :D

I'm thinking about tire carriers for my 01 XJ. I want accommodations for a 245/75R16 on a stock Jeep wheel, a Hi-Lift, and preferably a water/gas can. I like the features on the Wilderness unit, and how it can be accessorized, but I don't like the latching mechanism, and I don't like the bumper...

I'd just want to use the stock speakers - or possibly upgrade the speakers with better performing stock replacements. I imagine a 4-channel amp is what I'd need. I'd prefer the setup to be reversible ... for instance I don't want to be sol if I ever want to put a head unit in again. Does this...

I was just thinking ... I never really use my head unit at all. I listen to my iPod through the head unit 99.5% of the time. If I could remove my head unit and feed my iPod directly through the speakers via an amp, that would free up some nice dashboard real estate for GPS, switches, and/or...

Yes, I too am interested to hear about the 265's on your 2000. In your flex pic, it looks like there is a little more room for up-travel. Do you have extended bumpstops in the front? If so, approximately how much longer than stock? I'm running 2" and 245's on a very similar Jeep - I don't...

Sorry, haven't dealt with this yet - I'm going to get it scanned soon, I promise! The Cherokee has been running fine despite the CEL, hence my procrastination. :) Is the injector insulation you speak of in addition to the sheet of insulation that you can see on top of the manifold?

An updated picture with my new GPS.

I'm not total nubcakes, although this 01XJ is my first distributorless 4.0L, and I'm getting some rough idle at start-up. It smooths out after a few seconds, but it was enough to give me a check engine light. I'm assuming it just needs a little love, and although there isn't a distributor or...

At the very least, disconnect your front swaybar when on the trail. This single action will make your stock Cherokee 100x more capable and comfortable - and its free. It is common practice to do so. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDPzbPwP6L8

I'm still very happy with this. I find that I don't miss the vent at all.
