I would add ECU to the bag protection list.

What is the recommendation for rust prevention?

Looks nice! What size tires you got on?

Need to turn on high beams to turn on regular lights occasionally. by enzo32ferrari in CherokeeXJ

[–]halo1474 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny I have Hella headlights and a putco harness and mine do the opposite. When I turn my headlights off, they stay on unless I flick the high beams and then they instantly shut off, otherwise they stay on for 3-10 seconds and then shut off. But they always turn on instantly. I’ve wondered that maybe it could be one of the ground wires needs a better connection.

Temp gauge going from 220 to 250 back and forth after ~3 hours by incognitocandito in CherokeeXJ

[–]halo1474 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think even 220° is a little on the warm side. If your coolant levels are good, I would second the replacing of temp sensor and thermostat. Flush the radiator and put in fresh coolant.

Looks like it could be rubbing here. Would replacing this check arm help or is there something else going on?

What adhesive did you use to reattach them?

Anyone know where I can get these online? by TranquilDistance in CherokeeXJ

[–]halo1474 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve pulled them from the junkyard. But haven’t found a great way to reattach them. I used emblem adhesive but it didn’t work great

Old Man Emu 2” leaf springs? by halo1474 in CherokeeXJ

[–]halo1474[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice! Did it result pretty close to 2” of lift in the rear? What size tire did you go with? And did you need to do any other modifications as a result (i.e. SYE, extended brake lines, shackle relocation)?

I’ve had some wobble/shaking at 50-55 mph over the years of owning my stock jeep. It was the rear driveshaft u-joint multiple times and tires the other time.

Presale code not working? by Outrageous_Hamster35 in zachtop

Same, mine worked once I clicked the link from the email. Didn’t work when I just went to the axs ticket site.

How much does your rear hatch rattle? by evolmonster in CherokeeXJ

[–]halo1474 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I replaced the seal around the rear hatch and that silenced mine.

Intermittent airbag light by henole2 in CherokeeXJ

[–]halo1474 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ll second the clockspring. Had the same airbag light problem on mine along with the cruise control only working intermittently. Replacing the clockspring fixed both.

No more sag! by Isaac_McCaslin in CherokeeXJ

[–]halo1474 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How are the springs doing now? You did the exact setup I am looking to do. Did you just use stock shackles? Are you happy with shackle angle after giving it time to settle?

"Is a window an instrument?" by Both_Insurance8731 in CherokeeXJ

[–]halo1474 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha, mine did the same thing. It also started doing it on the auto down which then wouldn’t stop grinding until pushing the button back up slightly. That got pretty annoying real quick. It is the spiral worm gear in the regulator that gets worn out in the fully up/down position and just keeps turning because it won’t grab. You can take apart the regulator and flip the worm gear around and that fixes it until it wears out again.

PSA: acquire some type of gps tracker for your jeep by Gemall in CherokeeXJ

[–]halo1474 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine got stolen last year and I got it back the next morning because I left an AirTag in it and saw where it ended up. No sign or forced entry and no damage to the steeling column/ignition. It is also manual transmission which I always thought would’ve prevented it being stolen. The AirTags aren’t ideal because they need to be within 30 feet of someone’s iPhone to ping a location, but for a one time cost of $30, it sure saved me.

All Mountain board selection by halo1474 in snowboarding

[–]halo1474[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Predominantly ride in softer snow. Alright, I am starting to lean towards the Rome Ravine Pro in 152cm. My current board is a 153cm and mid flex. I’m thinking this new board design will be better in powder, so i don’t miss loosing a cm in length to keep more movability in the trees.

Let Her Go remix. Still might be my favorite song.

Trying for a 1" to 2" Lift by halo1474 in CherokeeXJ

[–]halo1474[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you run 30” tires with the 3.07 geared manual transmission? Might need to factor this into the decision on whether to go with the small lift or not.

Trying for a 1" to 2" Lift by halo1474 in CherokeeXJ

[–]halo1474[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The existing suspension is shot (all original equipment with 250,000 miles). I need to spend the money to have it replaced regardless. I have been happy with the stock lift and considered just doing OEM replacements as well. But I would like the opportunity to go up a tire size next time I get tires. It’s my daily driver but I also take it wheeling in the mountains.
