Cherokees are another vehicle that pretty much only responds well to OEM thermostats, right. I think I remember reading that on here. My Subaru was like that, but non of my Dodge, Fords, or Triumph (among others) seem to be particular.

Front disc brake calipers. They seem a bit tight to be, as in it's a bit of a wiggle to get them on the rotors and the assembly turns much more freely without them. How tight are they supposed to be? Seems to me like they're just lightly dragging now, wheels are a little warm after driving for a while. I just finished reading the section of the FSM for non ABS brakes and it mentions nothing about adjustment or required clearances.
So what's considered normal?
