Yes, MT/Rs are good tires.

You're going to get 1000 opinions with this question...

There is an 89 231 case on CL for cheap, is there anything I could use this for? Mine is a 94

You could use it as a spare.

I thought the spline counts were different?

For simplicities sake you want a 92-96 case.

That one most likely is 21 spline and has the dumb vaccum switch on it.

You'd have to swap the input shaft to use it.

Model: Cherokee
Engine: I6 4.0L
Default Problem Starting - 98 I6 4.0L Automatic
So yesterday morning i was getting ready to leave for school and i turn my key and no start. I hear a single click and then all the electronics shut off in my car, and i cant turn them back on for a good hour or so of grace period. Starter was recently replaced. About a week ago I had a 200 mile drive and i dont know if that might effect anything. So my question is; is this a fuse, solenoid, electric ground, neutral safety switch or alternator problem? Any info would be of great help, thanks for your time

I have pre-drilled holes in the top of the bumper, wiring shouldn't be all that different.
Anyone have thoughts?

That's why I make custom fog light brackets for xj's. Then you can purchase any fog light that fits the valence holes (where I prefer to mount fog lights); then bolted to my brakcets and 'fit'. They look great too.

Do you sell these? How much?

(I have a pair of IPF's that I got on C/L awhile back - long story - that did not come with the mounting brackets on the bottom. I haven't been happy with anything I've personally been able to conjure up ...I'm okay with the electrical ...going to mount them to the Warn brush guard.)

My 95 Grand Cherokee randomly dies, sometime while Im going 70 down the freeway and sometimes when I come to a stop at a stop sign. It will eventually restart, sometimes it takes 10 minutes sometimes it start on the first try.
I have just replaced the fuel filter, Idle air control & battery. I checked the fuel lines an have good pressure.
I have been looking around an everyone is talking about the CPS, Does my issues sound like they could be from that? or something else?
Thanks for your help!

4.0?

Sounds like a CPS to me.

Should look like this.
