i think they are re-enforced? idk i have wrangler at-s on there now but they dont come in 30s
my friend swears by bfg ill probably go with those they have a meaner looking tread on them lol (thats a bad reason to buy tires probably "oooh they look more aggressive!") >_<

Oh absolutely. I'm just saying the one called Canadian isn't that great. I suppose its a good "first beer", marketed at a lot of college kids. My favorite is a microbrew that made it big named Steamwhistle. I think we're rather off topic though...

Check Quadratec. They sell a Daystar poly kit for just about the entire front end. If you tell em you're a CF member you get free shipping. I just did today when I ordered my speedo gear and sway bar bushings.

Hello again & thanks for all the input, I got a few differing views from the members here and it seems the stock air intakes have changed over time (based on the posts). I am attaching a pic of the stock setup or top view of the '01 XJ.
It appears I cannot put an image in this reply, so please see the thread:
https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f2/fre...-query-168422/

As you can see from the top view the sheet metal (bottom of image) in front of the air box is solid from the radiator tank outward. The air box has that silly little angled piece (top of image) and that's it! No place to draw air from except the engine compartment.
I just wanted the ones who were questioning "why another route for fresh air" to be answered.
Thanks again all!

yea yay for a pointless explaination
It would look pretty bad

Not to mention if you ever used 4wd it would break something more expensive that those 2 other tires
