I've used Detroit Axle parts on other cars, including a street car that I abuse like a whore in the slums, and their parts have held up great. This Cherokee is never going to see offroad like a lot of other folks here. It's going to primarily be a street vehicle. The DA parts will be just fine...

Much appreciated, but those are the fixed wings. I've already got those. If you happen to see a set of the vent style, i've got no problem paying freight. So I've had a chance to drive it, get a feel for everything. She definitely needs some work. Front end needs a total rebuild. Detroit axle...

Oh it's surprisingly spunky for an old single cam 4 cyl. stopped at Chrysler today to get the printout of the original options. Supposedly has a 20 gallon tank under it!

I /JUST/ realized that was out in the main forum page. DOH. I overlooked it with the forum being broken down into models the way it is lol I feel like maybe I need to clarify a few things. I'm not here to learn how to wrench. I wrench every day as a profession. Been wrenching on things since I...

Not really looking for performance upgrades per se, was just curious if there were any revision parts that would be better suited to what's on the motor now. Performance wise, she's not fast, but suitably spunky enough even for Milwaukee traffic. No qualms there. Ive had vent windows in...

Why would I want to scrap a complete running vehicle just to change gear ratios in another vehicle? I have this jeep, I'd rather do the things I want to this one.

Devil, just saw your signature. I got a 80s GR650 and GV1200 sitting here as well.

Taking care of the axles is easy. I don't plan to wheel this thing. Worst it'll see is some snowbanks and maybe a beach. My friends backyard lol.

Thank you! Yeah for whatever reason it looks like the 4cyl only came with that "full" radiator. it's just a pain in my ass right now due to the cap flange somehow being worn enough that no cap sits tight. Previous owner had shimmed the cap using rubber gasket material, no bueno, so I need to...

Not half sized, but half height. I don't have the means to attach a picture right now, but Google search Murray 433871 vs Murray 432335. I have the first one currently. The 2nd one seems to be more prevalent. My catalogs only show the 2nd style by 01, and browsing Ebay brings up nothing but...

Axles look like d30 front w/o the vacuum actuator, and im guessing c8.25 rear. Gearing is 4.10 all around. She's pretty spunky for a 4cyl!

Also, forgot to ask. I keep seeing references to RENIX. But cannot find (yet) a definition on what that is. I'm guessing this is a reference to earlier year XJ?

Hi all, just bought a 96 XJ 2.5L, 5spd, 4x4, 2door. I've already looked through the last years worth of posts in here before posting this, and I'm still searching and browsing. This site unfortunately doesn't have stickies for known mods and upgrades like most sites, so finding the info I need...
