All of my Homebrew stuff is already in the Cherokee Forum "Cherokee write ups" section. So far, I've posted my Cold Air Intake, Sway Bar Quick Discos and my Front Axle Cable Operated Axle Lock. I have write ups with pics.

Great site...I especially enjoyed some of the disclaimers..this one in particular! ......

You should be aware that if you wire these up to an auxiliary switch you will be able to turn these rear halogen lamps on at any time!

IF YOU TURN THESE ON WHEN ANOTHER DRIVER IS BEHIND YOU THEY WILL BE UNABLE TO SEE THE ROAD AND MAY CRASH!

Law enforcement personel tend to take a dim view (A pun! Get it? ) of people deliberately blinding tailgaters, a$$holes driving with high beams on or anyone else behind you for that matter.

Also be aware that PEOPLE WITH GUNS do NOT need to see the road... They only need to see well enough to draw a bead just above and between your two 'reverse' lights.

DO NOT USE THIS MOD AS A TACTICAL STREET WEAPON!

89eliminator - I love that rear bumper and the rock sliders. Nice and simple. You marked out your front plate but forgot your rear!!!
