THAT is why, as much as power is nice, and my other car (Saab 9-5) has power everything. 2 out of 4 windows dont go down in that car though. When i was lookin for my Jeep, I purposely chose a non power XJ since i was buying a Cherokee specifically for its strength by simplicity. I'd rather be coaxing a mpg or two out or lifting, painting, cleaning or performing maintenance then spend countless $$$$ and time to get windows working.

Hope you get yours figured out easily though....I know i will need the same luck when it comes time to get the Saab out of storage and think about making all the windows work in it..

Took it for a nice 90 mile ride tonight. Highway, main city roads and backroads and, DAMN, do I LOVE my Cherokee. Drank tons of fuel, but ask me if i really care! I'm glad my 235/75 a/t's are the most aggressive tires this XJ has ever seen, cuz she rides so dang good for flippin over 185,000 while out there.

Also got the front bumper sanded/painted to match the front trim, added angry eyes(angry at being a "mall wagon" it's whole life), sanded the rear bumper down(paint tomorrow), and did I mention that i drove the hell out of it??!?!?!

Just drove to the supermarket cause my at needed food . It's cold as heck, no snow but driving in the jeep with Christmas lights just makes it perfect.

P.s. and the best mod ever has to be h4 convos with HD wiring harness and cleaning all electrical connections under hood.

Got my detours a pillar light brackets mounted and the lights wired up. Mounted the switch by the shifter and broke the handle so time to get a new one lol. Mounted the lights up high even with the top of the windsheild.can't fig out how to post pics but ill get some soon.got the headliner out yesterday to find out my overhead console was broke in 3 peices and the glue holding it togeather let go when I took it out lol so ima have the guy make a filler peice for it and put a flip down for the kiddo and put a few led interior lights in. Found out I got to rebuild my head cause the valve somethings are bad that's why it smokes. Got some oem style yellow fogs for the front factory locations. Hope to get my other a pillar lights from one of the other vendors to mound down low on the pillar. Tomorrow if its nice goin to paint the pillars and rino like the roof.

I changed front rotors and pads, turned the rear drums, and changed rear brake shoes. No more squeaking and can stop SOO much faster/better!

Yea I hear ya. I do like the power everything but if it was gonna be for trail use only I would def rather have manual Windows/ locks.

Luckily the drivers side master controls work properly for all the Windows/ locks. its only the switches on the back doors that arent responding. It's not really a high priority just annoying

Wrong answer. They should be asking "Will you roll my window up?" In my Jeep, often preceeded or followed by, "Ugh..my hair.."
Stupid stereotypical prissy chicks.

Today, I drove up a mountain road that was closed off due to snow, cause I was late for work. Threw it in 4WD and slid around every turn, but I was the only one on the road. Also hit 150,000 on the odometer just as I pulled in my parking spot. No pic, though, cause I can't have cameras at work
