Ha. I remember when I used to "waterproof" the paper towel rolls at high school, really frustrated some of my teachers when they spilled something and tried to wipe the mess away.... Really funny to watch them constantly trying to wipe it but doesn't get absorbed in the paper towel...

Omg how did i never think of that lol

all cherokee hoods are inner changeable if I am not mistaken. Body style didn't change once besides the wing windows grille and two or 4 door options.

Even then, 1998 and 2000 are the same design.

Just for reference.

97+ has different header panel, fenders, bumper caps, fender flares, front doors, mirrors, roof rack, tail lights, and back hatch.

Forgive me if I missed something.


Question: if I'm running a 245/75/16 could I use a 31x10.50/15 for a spare? Or is it too big of a difference in size?

The front bumper is actually different too. New shape. There's also the air dam, door trim, and little differences in roof rack.

http://tire-size-conversion.com/metric-tire-conversion/ says 30.5" nominal. Closer match than the factory setup! Would probably if you're locked though.

I found a good 31x10.5R15 tire for like $30 and put it on a Jeep rim I got for free.

Forgot front bumper and trim. My 99s air damn was smashed up and promptly got removed upon purchase lol.

On the tire size I knew it was 30.5 that tire conversion calculator is my fave because the metric tire sizes make my head hurt.

That's sweet though I have a whole set of 31x10.50s on stock steels from my parts jeep, at least one should be good for a spare. I didn't want to take my vacation without a spare even though I'm getting new tires. I'm on open diffs too so no issues there.

Latches are different pre 87.

You can always put the spare up front if it was rear tire that popped. Least then it mainly matters ij 4wd or if you have 4full time. Not not how different size tires behave on the rear axle, if it makes a big difference

Audio gurus I need your help! so for a while now every time I would hit a bump in the jeep my radio would turn off and turn back on. the other day the same thing happened except the radio didnt turn back on this time. I know it was getting power because I could eject a disk and insert a disk but I couldnt get anything else to work. I ran the radio straight to the battery and it worked fine. It turns out the accessory wire(the one that comes from the harness in the jeep) is not working so now my radio does not save presets or anything. has anyone had this problem and get it fixed? or does anyone know where the accessory wire runs to on the jeep?

sycoglitch

Have you taken the dash partly apart and traced the wire. Im trying to remember how far back it goes.

Brennidon

nope havent taken it apart yet I figured id ask first before I did that..im thinking maybe the wire is bad and was going to replace it but didnt know where it went to

Will a headliner from a 2000 Cherokee fit a 1996?

sycoglitch

What year is your jeep and trim

dukie564

Physically yes. But it is different (soundbar, interior lights, overall head console, etc would need to be swapped.). I recommend finding one for the correct years (pre-97)
