I live in Carteret County (Atlantic Beach, Emerald Isle), or some like to call it the "Crystal Coast". Thanks for the compliment on the trim job. I did my old red cherokee the same way but when I painted the fenders (bed liner), I left it black. I went over the bed liner on this jeep with some rustoleum "aluminum" to keep the stock color scheme.

So I got my trick flow throttle body spacer in,got new plug wires /cap and roter in, gonna finish up my tune up here shortly, I also got started installing LEDs in the Jeep for the fire dept. I put a mini phantom R/R and a Talon R/W in the front windshield,and another kinda LEDs out the rear side windows.waiting on corner strobe LEDs to get here and soon after that I'll get a rear deck light bar

^great rig for the job

i'm woundering for your radio if the wire harness/clip is fully engaged. because when you pull it out, you say it lights up, but not all the time. just sounds like a loose connection.

not sure,the wireing on the back of the radio was pluged in securely,where does the radio wire cluster go? is there a radio fuse in the fuse block? can someone take a pic. of there fuse block (under the dash) for me?

you should just hike that thing up to 4.5 and gets 32s. then you wont have any clearence or rubbing issues. also, the radio fuse and the cigarette lighter fuse are the same. im pretty sure for your year too. but yes, its in the fuse box. and sorry i cant get any pictures.

Just check the fusses in the fuse box, and replace the blown ones, that will be your radio.

Iam not as worried about the radio as Iam the blinkers not working, I cant figure out where the flasher relay is supposed to be. any ideas? they guy said the thing stoped workin and he rigged the wipers on a toggle switch but I guess he forgot about the blinkers or maybe they were working and now they arent

they are saying its either the red relay or the blue one on the secondary relay block, anyone know on a '95 Cherokee Country which 1 is for the blinkers? as for the auto headlight shutoff thing (the little silver canister that gets hot under the dash) can it be cut out? or is there a specific fuse to pull just for it?

Ok so I noticed water is leaking into the floorboard of my XJ from somewhere, the weather stripping all looks pretty good and all the gaskets around the windows look pretty good, its primarily on the driver side, and behind the driverside under the 2nd seat and somewhat on the passenger side. where would this be coming from?
