Im thinking its project box or accessory box, I just call it a fun box. Try searching cherokee relay box, and you should be able to find it.

Do you think i should hook up an additional relay and splice into the putco power source/headlight switch? Or new relay-> switch wire to headlight "power wire" and such?
Let me know if any of this sounds dumb, its fluent in my head but as far as typing it i dont know lol. Thnx
I don't know whether anyone answered you but since you alraeady have a Putco setup and I think are adding a second one I would plug the second Putco into the other headlight plug and let it power the relay for your Hella lights. So you have one Putco for your headlight and a second one for your Hellas and all come on when you turn your lights on.

Should work either way, just get the proper relay. I would run the relay for the extra lights off the switch wire, just so you wouldnt have to worry about splicing into the putco harness.

You didn't post a pic... but I'm gonna say its the trans switch to change the way the tranny shifts.

Damn I'm good. Changes how hard the trans shifts and a bunch of other yadda yadda that doesn't do much of anything. Id leave it on power.

Got that, but what kinda difference does the thing make? I cut it on and off while driving and felt no difference at all

I was never able to feel much of a change either on the other xj I had for a while. As far as I know, the comfort setting is supposed to shift softer, making driving more enjoyable. While the power is basically normal. Whether it actually does that or not.. thats a mystery.

Alrighty.. And another more serious question, when I'm stopped and I take off hard (as in punch it) I heard what's sounds like a grinding sound coming from the rear. When I let off the gas it goes away till I get up to speed, sounds awfully like grinding gears
