As for speaker power handling, will have to remove one to read label on backside to get RMS value and peak power.

High speed fan only
I have a 91XJ that only the high speed works on the fan. Doesn't make a difference heat or air. I have replaced both the fan switch and the blower resistors. The harness connector at switch has been hot enough it's melted but wires fit tight. I tried to use used parts but all I found in junk yards had the wire harness connector melted at switch also. Thanks in advance. It does have a new blower motor also.

It actually reduces fuel pressure when there is no vacuum to help with a clean idle.
Leave it alone. the biggest factor in good fuel economy is your right foot.
Read up on driving with the aid of a vacuum gauge.

I want to know if this Jeep Repair is a Good Idea
So, I decided that once I get my car fixed, again, that I will put it for sale or even before that I should get myself something that fits my current life better. I started doing handyman work and would like to get something which has room to haul all my tools and that I can tow things with, but I don't want a big truck.
I believe that a Cherokee fits the bill nicely. It would be nice for me to Own and drive one once again.
However in my area a clean rust free and Cheep Cherokee is hard to find, but I have more time than money right now, and think I came across two candidates that could make one Jeep .. I just wanted some advice from others and i did not know where to ask this question.
While looking for something which I can afford, in my area, I came across two 2001 Cherokee's. One that has major front end damage but the engine still runs Good and another that has no engine.
I was considering buying them and making one out of the Two.
The One that has front end damage is a LTD it looks like .. and the one that needs an engine is base model Classic , but described as having No rust.
I would like to post photos and get opinions. Maybe it is a Stupid idea and not worth the effort. Maybe i need someone to talk me out of it so i feel better, or someone that can reassure me that its a great idea.
And by the way, they are asking for about 800 dollars each vehicle.

There are just two things to be wary of on an '01. First, it has a weaker head due to a casting defect. They're known to crack if the engine overheats. Second, the exhaust system has four O2 sensors and two pre-cats in addition to the regular catalytic converter. This isn't necessarily a problem, but it makes maintenance much more expensive
Simple question:
Where can I get Good Quality 9-inch rear brake-drums for my 2001 Cherokee Sport? Does anybody make heavy-duty drums that don't go out-of-round in 5,000 miles? I'm getting tired of the cheap Chinese/Mexican crap brake drums.
TIA,

The Classic is actually a higher trim level that included quite a few options, and the Limited is comparable. If you have the space, the time, and the ability, it sounds like a good plan. I would be hesitant, though, to spend $1600 on two broken Jeeps. In my area, that can get you a decent running model. I'd feel more comfortable in the $1000-1200 price range, but cost is all up to you.

Well what about buying the classic that needs an engine and getting an engine to put into it? Does that seem like an idea ? And if so what year engine would you recommend me looking for?
Well Only one does not drive. The ltd moves around , the owner was planning on making a trail rig and started to fix i for that .. so he does drive it around his property, but the one without the engine does not move obviously.. so do you guys think I should give a low offer to that classic?

For me personally, I'd pay up to $1k for the pair, assuming I had the facilities and equipment to perform the motor swap. You also end up with a high trim level parts vehicle, so you can mix-and-match or break-and-replace almost anything on the Jeep at least once. Or you can resell some of the more rare/valuable parts to partially recoup your investment.

Well it looks like the airbag deployed in the black one. 99 times out of 100, that's a totaled vehicle. I don't know the regs in your state, but it may not be eligible for registration again. If so, that seriously diminishes the sale value. I wouldn't pay over $500 for it in that case. The one without a motor, I wouldn't pay more than $500 for.
