I just got a cherokee xj and it is the most basic stock one you can get with 4x4 added. No tint , steelie rims and so on...What are some cheaper easy applied upgrades I can do in order to change the look a bit? I plan on tint and tires with white letters. I plan on painting the rims black when the weather gets a bit nicer (should I use a flat finish?)...I added a much needed drink cup holder that fit the factory console and I took off the antenna and replaced it with 13" flexible rubber antenna.....What is a good site to look for easy upgrades? What are some of your suggestions to help the look? Are there leaf springs that will lift it an 1 or 2 without having to change the break lines? Any help or pics would be great....Thanks in advance...T

 

Awesome thread on home brew jeep mods...

also half the dashboard lights went out. How easy is that to replace? its dark over the fuel gauge at night but the light over the speedometer still works...

 

That is a great thread.....Thanks!!

 

Atleast on the pre 97s there are 4-5 little bulbs (I believe the bulb number is168 or 194?) Pretty easy to pull off a few trim peices around the cluster, then just a few screws to pull the cluster out!
I am sure there is a write up on here for it somewhere

 

awesome.....thanks a ton....Its a '95 Ill look up the bulbs online..and for that thread...

 

I think I have found that I need a size 194 bulb......I seen some blue led ones on ebay for about 10 bones...

Who ever owned it before installed a JVC cd player and it has a bright blue back light so thats why I was thinking blue dash lights....

I love that Homebrew thread...got some cool ideas....My rockers are rusted out bad so using the 2 x 4 steel weld might be the cheapest route.. Although it looks like the steel may cost double what the rockers cost off ebay...Also liked the bike rack mod for the tire...

 

WOW, that is one of the best threads I have seen in a long time!
A lot of very creative people here!
