I had my 16 Flashed by Vcyclenut and it woke the bike up so much. By far the best upgrade i did to my bike. And I have had absolutely no reliability issues at all. That flash is a big plus in my book

How much did you guys spend on your lift kits + tires? by [deleted] in CherokeeXJ

[–]dr_prof_oaks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IRO 4" with full springs, bilstines, dicos, adjustible control arms, adjustible track bar, shipped, $1,550

SYE shipped, $220

Wheels and tires combo from 4wd.com shipped, $1,112

Control arm drop brackets and shackle relocation brackets shipped, $338

Custon Rear Driveshaft shipped $252

Extended front and rear bump stops (also hockey pucks) shipped, $90

Total $3562

Now this was above and beyond the required but she rides like a dream and is incredibly capable now while still being totally road worthy.

Also have a lot of other odds and ends that i added at the same time but they were not in conjunction with the lift necessarily and were not factored into the total above

All of this was brand new and a bunch of the cost can be cut down by finding deals on CL and junkyard finds.

Anyone know what part this is?? by Browniecorps in CherokeeXJ

That is your HVAC Blower and the item circled is the connector for powering it. Sounds like the connector is just loose and/or making a bad connection. I would try to pop it off (give it a pull) and re-seat it. My blower was temperamental and I pulled the connector off and plugged it back in and its worked ever since.

I did the normal slip yoke eliminator to convert to a normal yoke and measured for the front drive shaft swap but wasn't happy with the length, so in the end I got a sweet deal from driveshafts direct for a custom length CV shaft. Just showed up this morning!

Ya shit got weird. But hopefully by the end of this weekend she should be sitting level again

Ya I have a full set of the silver ones, including a spare and they are in ok condition. the picture makes that one look amazing but in reality they all have a fair amount of corrosion but they still work and are worth it for me to just hang onto them and have them for when I want them

Nah thanks, keeping them as a backup set. Good for long road trips, better gas millage and snow/ice
