So I got wind that I may have some small things that I need for ironside coming from my girlfriend for Christmas tomorrow, and I am really really hoping it's mirrors lol, oh also my jeep is missing the swaybar, can I still drive it on the road like that or is it not recommended

 

probably more stickers lol.

As far the sway bars, some people drive with theirs and some people drive without.

Some people say it's just fine without and some people say it feels like a death wish.

I've never driven without mine on the street, so I have no experience to offer you. I guess it comes down to experience, personal preference and the girth of your cajones.

 

i hope it's not stickers lol, I'm not an experienced jeep driver so I'll drive it in a open lot and see what it does. If it starts vibrating in the steering wheel I'm definitely throwing the toolbox and wallet at it to get rid of any sort of death wobble

 

right on!

 

I have driven it on a road with dealer plates on it for the test drive, it didn't vibrate at all... Though I have no clue what speed it was going, probably like 30 mph, so I have to keep that in mind

 

So I just had a question and it is stuck in my head rn, did the Cherokees come with different rear axle ratios or are they all the same? Currysospicy you know?

 

Ok so I got PB nutblaster and some fuses for Christmas, and I'm hopefully going to get some work done on the Jeep, probably take the stickers off

 

***Gearing ***
3.07 - used with 4.0L engine / manual transmission
3.31 - only available on older (pre87?) 2 door XJs with "Fuel Economy" package
3.55 - used with 4.0L engine with automatic transmission; also used with 2WD 4-cyl engines (possibly 4WD as well) equipped with the 4-speed manual transmission
3.73 - found in some XJs with the towing package
4.10 - used with 2.5L engine usually, and older XJs with the "Off-Highway Vehicle" package.

 

how would I check it? Also Merry Christmas man!

 

Merry Christmas to you as well buddy!

 

thank you very much, I'll be checking that later today! I'll post what I end up doing and what ratio it is

 

right on! Probably 3.55s

 

maybe 4.10s though I doubt it

 

could depending on the year, or if PO had the Jeep go through a re-gear.

 

lol, fingers crossed it's a 4.10
