Default Excited I found it lol

Here you go man and be careful i might actually take you up on that offer dude i want to go there so bad!!!


Edit: Regarding your lift. Keep your tires no worries. You can grab front springs out of a grand Cherokee should give you 2.5" of front lift. then grab some 2.5-3" shackles from your neighborhood friendly auto parts store.you can play with shackles to get her the right height. As they stated no need for shock change. If you can't you can have someone FAB you up some shackles for the rear.

Hope all this helps man

Welcome to the XJ family.

Will do...your diagram shows for a Left Hand Drive im guessing, if i follow the pipes it shouldnt matter that its a 'Right' hand drive??

on a different note now....Wheel Spacers...i did a search on the site last night and got 20 plus pages on them, pro's and con's....likes and hates...I was thinking of getting these

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/4-Jeep-Cherokee-XJ-1999-99-Wheel-Spacers-Adapters-2_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem414cdd041aQQitemZ2804 62427162QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccess ories

its purely a visual thing....just like the idea of pushing the wheels out a bit and i'd be the only guy in my part of the world with it done...From reading the search results last night i got the impression that they dont do any real harm unless you go out too far....is 2 inches too far?? Is it worth doing?

Cool

The hoses should go the same route just opposite sides. As far as wheel spacers go in my opinion i like dell well wheels better But... As long as you dont get crazy it wont do any harm (by crazy I mean you probably will break something else first)

They do give it a Wicked stance though.

Im not quite sure what side of your engine this is on so im not sure but what ever end does not go into your engine dont push the water through the ones into your engine or you will have to drain and refill with antifreeze

Talking

It all depends who you ask i have always done hose water a lot of people say run cleaner like CLR first then flush with water.

I find i like the hose because it puts a nice amount of force through there knocking all the stuff out of there.
