I can't precive how the ABS would only target pulling in one direction, not saying it's not possible though. My money would be on something stupid simple, like a front hose. (Thats if it were consistently going in the same direction.)

I have asked them to get moving on it, and they apologize for the lengthy wait. I call every week and they keep saying they can't figure it out. Is it unreasonable to show up with a tow truck and bring it somewhere else? or should i fear sabatoge of it...

As for the front wipers if you look at the base of the wiper where it meets cowl you see a lil curled piece that comes out of side. That's what you pry with screwdriver as you lift wiper up and down and then pull it'll come right off. That for the whole arm as for the blade itself the Cherokee has J hook arms, I believe all years, and those you just yank inward towards the wiper arm and it'll release

He can always go treadwright, still curious what his plans are. Oh and OP FYI it was $600 for my 235/70/16 Firestone destination at so you might be just a lil bit more. Just a lil

I got 31x10.5 for right at $500 with road hazard warranty and free lifetime rotation and balance. I can't see why a set of 32's couldn't go for $650...

I can get a brand new set of 32 bfgoodrichs or 32 cooper stt for the same price of 650. My buddy owns a tire shop and he's hooking me up. Used for taking me to the mountain. To board and medium trailing. Both tires hold up well to abuse and have medium highway sound. I'm stuck between a rock and hard place lol

Tire pressure for 35's on my 96 xj with 8 inch suspension. Go by the size of the tires or by what it says on the door of the jeep? Heard both ways any thoughts?

neither. Oversized tires you need to do a "chalk test" to get the pressure right since they are very different. Basically involves coating the treads in chalk, driving forward a little bit, then checking the contact patch. You need to aim for a full contact patch the whole way across the tire with no high spots or cupping.

Start with a baseline pressure of 25psi and go up or down from there.
