A 44 on a grand has disc on it that will bolt up to the 8.25 all you have to do is use a die grinder on the inside of the bracket a little bit

I just watched a video on youtube of a TJ with rusty's bar, that broke. The jeep rolled and was destroyed.

ironrockoffroad offers a track bar for 1-5" of lift. its $203 shipped. thats what I use! also comes with a track bar bracket. if you plan on going bigger in the future, get the double shear adjustable bar... (link below.

they also offer a an adjustable track bar that utilizes the stock track bar frame bracket... if you plan to stay @ 3" then the one below will be fine, i think.

Sorry for being a noob but my 96 SE came with no rear wiper. My question is, will a rear wiper and motor from a 97+ bolt up to my hatch? If so, how do I go about wiring it? Thanks!

Not sure. Body style changed in 97. Best bet would be one from a 92-96 cherokee to be sure it's just plug and play.

even if it came without a wiper, are all cherokees pre-wired for one?

I dont see it being plug and play if it wasnt prewired from the factory for a wiper... you're still going to have to wire it up to work.

Seems Dukie is more versed in the ins and outs of the Cherokee so maybe he'll reply with a worthwhile response. I can't help you, cuz I have no experience doing it.

Sorry, I just have a strong feeling it's not prewired for a wiper and wanted to make sure you understood that.

Aside from this approach... switched 12v power, a good chassis ground and a switch... it wont be OEM but it'll work.

so the jeep never came with a rear wiper in the first place? Never heard of that....

Anyways, i'm sure there is wiring for the wiper and the switch if it wasn't. Jeep didn't vary very much on their wiring harnesses, they pretty much used a standard one for every option (except engine/tranny of course). All the pigtails should be there somewhere you just have to find them.

My 00 xj didn't have heated mirrors but They are powered. Can I add heated mirrors and will they be a plug-n-play? I found some for cheap on Amazon...
