Broke the front pipe from the exhaust line to take it in for de-pinching.

Never done exhaust work. The clamp came off easy, the pipe no so much. Hard to get a good angle on it without hitting the cat or ox sensor.

Also news to no one, map gas stinks.

I'll try to get the rest of the line so he can just for the new muffler. In one piece it doesn't fit in my Focus...

Thanks for that.

Is this exactly what would be in my '00 XJ 8.25 rear if it came with a Factory LSD?

https://www.ebay.com/itm/152807984098

And can it be installed in a open diff? As I stated before I always hope to come across one.

Nothing in the Cherokee, but the Comanche is the best it's ever been. New 746 injectors, new spark plugs, new wheel cylinder, and I finally for the first time ever drove it without backfiring and stumbling. Unplugging the intake air temperature sensor fixed it. So now I have to find a renix intake air temperature sensor which is proving Impossible. So I'm excited!

good to find that stuff now before you end up "Flintstoning" it.

Good news BUT, that sensor has long been discontinued. Your only and best bet is to take all you find in the junkyard off of Renix XJs or, if Cruiser has one he'd be willing to sell you.

As for me, just unbolted and dropped the 2wd AX4 and will be installing a new clutch, 4x4 AX4, NP231 and new driveshaft tomorrow.

Unfortunately I have discovered that. Im going to check the yards around here, a friend might have one back home, and I'll see what I can come up with. I'm just glad I can finally put a muffler on it without blowing it up.
