Threads off what? The tre or the steering box?

 

It's a bit different but it has a lot of the same components: Axles, motor (the 4.0 at elast), Tranny (I believe) T-case (NP242) and a couple other pieces. They're a bit bigger and more comfy. They ride a bit nicer. You can get strip model versions of the Laredo trim that don't have very many options. The 5.2 powered Jeeps tend to have more transmission issues. One distinct advantage for these Jeeps is that they have coil springs in the back as well.

 

The tie rod and pit arms have the threaded peice on each end. Those are smashed and stripped at the tip...

 

There are a lot more aftermarket parts for Cherokees than grand Cherokees. A Cherokee limited is just as nice as a grand Cherokee the grand Cherokee is a little bigger, I think Cherokees look better.

 

If it's just the tip you can try and rethread it yourself or take it to a local machine shop. I rented a puller kit from Advance Auto. They return deposit when you bring it back. Useful for reconnecting it.

 

anyone know what this thick blue wire is for?

i pulled the speaker and this is what i found



i went to replace my speakers today, i got them all working but the driver door speaker wire looked like this and it wont work no matter what i do

 

PO probably ran tweeters and took them out, or a half azzed attempt at running an amplifier

 

It's called a ghetto repair. Take the little blue wire sticking out of the loom and reconnect it. If that don't work you might have a broken wire between the door and body

 

I asked this awhile ago but should I stick with rc 3" leafs I have or a used set of re 3.5" leafs. I have bigger shackles so I can use either or. Ik re is better, but there's nothing wrong with my rc ones.

 

If the re leafs are already broken in, and you have removed all the bolts on your leafs recently id swap them. Rc leafs are junk so it may be worth the swap. Plus you can sell them

 

Best way to remove cat when i get my new one this week? i took the clamp off tonight and that thing is STUCK... Put a new clamp on for a while but what to do without a torch?

 

Sawzall.

 

That's what i was feeling lol... any "real" ideas other than that? Even though thats what i'll really do lol

 

Due to the crimp an exhaust clamp leaves usually there is no way to avoid the sawzall

 

Gotcha, cant wait then lol
