Yes the FRS Channels last I checked were VHF. If you have access to the mounts and antennas, you are golden. My setup is twin Motorola Spectras running 110W. While setup for my Ham and FD/PD frequencies, they should program down to the FRS channels as well. This and they have preamps on the...

Here is my '00. I'm having to upsize my DD, and well I have to sell one to get the other: http://stlouis.craigslist.org/cto/4787768251.html Ih "it's gonna suck selling it" scoutlover

Here is what's been done and the next course of action. First the carrier and axles are still in it and it's on jackstands. I went to do a "preload" on the bearings tonight after replacing the pinion seal which by the way mad me feel much better about how I was going about removing it. The...

I am going to add here that I was told by the PO that he lost the nut. Whether that was lost while driving, or lost as it was being taken apart. I am going to preload it to 20 inch lbs, then torque the nut to 150 ft/lbs. This should get me to where I need to be. I have consulted several...

Ok so here is my next question. If I am to replace this unit, with the original yoke, and a new pinion nut, do I hold it with slip joint pliers, then torque it to a value?? Or do I torque it to a value to start, then a second?? I am getting ready to clean the splines on both the pinion and...

I have an electric impact gun, can use if I need to. I have to obtain the diff seal first, since I don't want to do it again. I will drain the diff and verify the condition of things. Not sure what else to do. I keep hearing two different numbers here and I am not quite sure whats going on...

Ok I have done some searching and research. I have found some very good leads, but nothing sounds close to what I am looking for/at. When I bought my latest Cherokee Sport, the PO had claimed that the pinion nut had come off. I got with the XJ, the rear driveshaft and axle yoke. I also got...

I figured it out. There is a 15 amp fuse that was blown that controls most of that stuff, and once replaced, all is well. Thanks for the help. The reason it was running for 30 mins was because my wife was at the vet with our dog, and I thought she was going to be sooner than that. It was...

Yesterday the family went out for the morning. We loaded up and drove about 2 hours or so, with intermittant stopping and starting, with the first errand we ran I left it idling for about 30mins or so. By the time we were done, we drove back home, shut it down and came inside. We had noticed...

I recently replaced front axle u-joints with new units that have a cap drilled for a fitting. The fitting that came with them has a slot for a slotted screwdriver, and looks like its kind of depressed to fit a grease gun adapter. I thought my needle adapter fit them, but did not. I bought...

I definitely appreciate the help here. I got 4 from a STL stealership. Not much more than the link posted after my initial post. Went to Fastenal, and called the stealership closest to me. Fastenal couldn't get them, local dealer had 4. Went there and some nitwit packaged the bolts they...

I broke one of the three 12pt 13mm hold down bolts for my wheel bearing assembly. Are these a readily available part, or Junkyard only?? Jeff

Here are the pictures, as my iPhone doesn't have the option for putting them into this thread, or I haven't figgered out how to do it from there just yet: http://www.cherokeeforum.com/f2/ring-around-stub-shaft-190683 Jeff

I just got done replacing the passenger side axle shaft u-joint. Of course in getting the old one out, I mashed up this ring or collar thing on the outer shaft. Is it really needed?? If so, where is it sourced?? That stub shaft doesn't seem to need it as it uses the rest of the face of the...
