This is what I have on my cheat sheet which I got from somewhere here on the forum:
The track bar bolt is: M10x1.5x75mm
LCA bolts are: M14x2.0mmx120mm
UCA bolts are: M10x1.5x110mm
Cross Member bolts are: 3/8"-24 (I think)

However, I think the LCAs might be better off at 110mm also.
Any help from others?

So I think my fuel pump is going bad, stuttering issue gets worse the more empty the tanks get.

I've done quite a bit searching on here and I've read a lot. Most threads show how to cut, bit not where.

Im going to cut out my muffler and catalytic converter and weld new ones in. I want to sleeve weld them in since its stronger than butt welding. Should I flare the exhaust pipe to fit over the muffler/cat inlet/outlet, or flare the muffler/cat to slide over the exhaust pipe?

Overlap them so the exhaust gas isn't restricted. Pieces toward the rear should sleeve over pieces toward the manifold.

Found this.

1998 Cherokee Classic, Thanks to all on OEM fog lights and switch (Its Alive!)

Now how about the Emergency/ Parking Brake light. (it's on all the time)
Brakes / Emergency Brake / Fluid / no air in lines/ All functioning okay.
So do I have to remove part of the center console to get access to and play with the switch?

Yup it's right underneath it between the seats. I can't remember if the switch is normally open or normally closed, so the wire may be shorted to the transmission tunnel or simply popped off of the connector
