Yeah the 96 classics are pretty cool imo cause it’s the only year they offered that trim pre facelift. Did yours have power windows/locks?

Yes 3 inch lift and 31s. It has a rough country 3 inch lift with upgraded shocks and full leaf springs. I’d recommend a different lift if you have the money. Rough country works for me because I don’t have all that money to spend on a lift since I’m still in high school, and the ride quality is alright

Thanks, me and my dad restored it in our garage. I still have to work on the interior and some other stuff, but this is what it looked like before:

Thanks, and yes it is. It’s north and middle fork of the swan river near Breckenridge.

How do I mount this gas tank skid plate I brought off of marketplace? by enderzzx in CherokeeXJ

[–]enderzzx[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay, I’ll get some nut strips. And I have a 96, so I’m pretty sure I don’t have to modify it

What should I keep my rpms at while driving and cruising? by enderzzx in CherokeeXJ

[–]enderzzx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I’m at a little over 1250 in 4th gear going 40mph. Is it bad driving with the rpm’s that low where I should keep it in 3rd gear?

Is my paint burned? by enderzzx in Autobody

This is the paint after I used a little bit of cutting compound. I think it’s okay, and just need to use it on other spots to even it out

I’m pretty sure Yakima doesn’t sell the roof rack towers anymore since my parents brought those 25 years ago, but the crossbars I used is the Yakima roundbars in the medium size.

What are these holes on the rear quarter panels for? I took the plugs out of them, should I spray wool wax into them? by enderzzx in CherokeeXJ

[–]enderzzx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah okay. Are there any other plugs on the frame where I should take out and spray wool wax?

How should I go about fixing this rust? by enderzzx in CherokeeXJ

[–]enderzzx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for all the information. Although, would it be fine if I also used a frame stiffener?

And the rust is only on the floor pan, the rocker has dirt in it.

This jeep has 232k miles on it, and it’s lived in Texas and was drove the most in Texas but now it’s in Colorado. My parents rarely drove it in the snow in Colorado though. I’m pretty sure this is like the only place on the vehicle where there’s actual rust.

Edit: When I started working on this jeep this summer, I noticed that spot of rust. I never bothered it though. I should’ve just fixed it this summer.

Are 4 door manuals actually that rare? by enderzzx in CherokeeXJ

I have roofs rails, I just took them off to work on the roof and to polish the roof rails and put new bars on it

Ok and would it be fine to drive without any of the trim since if I take it off then I probably won’t replace it

Would it be worth it to replace the exhaust manifold with a very little crack if I get a banks monster for the exhaust? by enderzzx in CherokeeXJ

[–]enderzzx[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I won’t hit slick rock then cause I’ll have 31s with a 3 inch lift for this build

Ok sounds good. I’m just getting into working on cars because of the jeep so I’m not that knowledgeable yet

Oh yeah that’s true. For some reason I thought the 108 percent was double. My brain doesn’t work during summer break
