Planning to throw 4 kc either daylighters or slimlights on my xj and am wondering if there is anything that needs to be upgraded. Like ive read about people upgrading alternaters or going to a dual battery setup.
Thanks for any help

They'll definitely draw more but as long as you have a solid batery you'll be fine.

So just getting a better battery like the optimas will suffice

Does anyone know who actually started or formed cherokee forum? I just was thinking about it and wondering who created it.

Was it a single person or a company?

If anyone had info fill me in.

On a '96 XJ to get the dash bezel out do you have to remove the steering column cover? Are they torx heads? Will anything fall apart?

So, want to make a junkyard hack n tap sye. I need a 27 spline yoke that will accept an xj front driveshaft double cardan end. Also must not pass thru so that a bolt can be used in the center. Anyone know of a particular vehicle that has a yoke like this??

Looks a little too pastel. Like easter. Also I wouldn't show off the stock tie rod.

Maybe someone else can elaborate but I believe there's s yoke that can be used it's on a Lincoln I think.

Not sure why Im asking this but better safe then sorry...

Would a hood from a 98 two door fit on a 99 four door? and what about the fenders?

again... I think they are the same front but I better ask.

Still looks a little pale. If you stick with yellow I'd go with something brighter or more gold. Or just not yellow. Lol

It could still be the pic though. I'd at least make the steering link and Tue rod black again though. Too much color either way.
