bumper and winch. Easier to install, lockers still get stuck. If your trying to get into someplace that needs lockers then you should already have a winch.

Default Battery draining over night.

I have a 2000 grand cherokee I just bought recently. The battery will drain in aboout 10 hours or so. I changed the battery twice. Had the charging system check, it was fine. Checked all the fuses in the cab, they were good. Then I started checking the fuses under the hood. With my test light hooked up to the positve cable and the positive post I pulled the fuse for the o2 sensor and my light got dim and started flickering. So I pulled the big fuse labled JB power and my light went out completly. Someone on another forum told me that just isolates that fuse panel from the one in the cab, so I don't know. He also mentioned that heater for the o2 sensor could be draining the battery. If anyone could help me, it would be greatly appreciate it.
Thank you,

Chris

How do you guys suggest I remove the ccv elbows on my xj so that I can clean them and replace if needed? I don't want to bust them or leave something behind in the valvetrain...

Question, what size rotors does an 01' Cherokee have is it 78mm or 82mm or does it not make a difference?

You need one specifically for a RHD Cherokee. They are shaped differently to clear the differential and steering setup.

IRO makes one for RHD also, and their quality is top notch.

Just sounds like your Idle Air Control Valve (IAC) needs to be removed and given a good cleaning. Just do a search for "IAC Cleaning" and you should find a bunch of guides.

31s are close to stock so start at about 30psi. The best way to gauge with bigger tires is to do the chalk test. Use white chalk to color a line across the whole tread, then drive straight for a few hundred feet, and see where the chalk has been wiped off. If it's wiped off in just the middle, decrease the pressure. If it's wiped off on just the edges, increase the pressure. Adjust until the chalk gets wiped off evenly - indicating a full contact patch. This is the pressure you should run them at.

Every tire and vehicle setup is different, so your results may vary.
