Best reply in the history of cherokee forum!! I spit my coca cola all over myself!

Dont take it offroad ever and it will last a bit longer! Guaranteed some electrical gremlin will reveal itself soon! 180 is about the point of it.

But its a love-hate relationship ...more love tho!

do NOT mix tire sizes with the front... i bought a part jeep because the dummy ran 32's on the front and 33 on the back and blew the transfercase out... find ya the matching size... craigslist man... they are all over it... ill give you some hints on searching... try these for a 33in tire... "33 tire" "33 tires" "33x12.50" "33 r15" "mud tires" "mud tire" "33x12.50r15" "33s"

also above you cut far enough to cut the pinch welds out so now you need to reweld it back up... i did that but on purpose... if its a DD... if its not a DD then i would worry about it to much... its a integrity thing... the XJ relies on the strength of the body... so squirting some foam or body sealer in there is not the right way to go about it... yet itll keep the water out but the integrity of the body is compromised unless they are pressed or welded back together...
