On my 99 , my drivers door glass rattled and moves quite a bit.

What piece of the trim (or whatever) helps hold it in place? Everything visually looks tight, but I can move it

Anyone got am exploded view of the front door? For 97+.

The side window tracks, the regulator and the seat at the top of the door all hold it in place.

Side window tracks meaning the pieces of plastic/rubber between the glass and the metal of the inner door? I don't know a proper term for it. Lol

I could see that being worn down.

I'm gonna have the doors apart soon and I'm hoping to fix all their issues in one pass... also putting dynamat in them.

Thanks for help guys. Really hope I get this figured out soon
I wonder if re-torquing the head bolts will help any?

Is the 99 intake a direct swap on a 98?
Yes; it was direct bolt on and no grinding on mine. I have aftermarket APN headers and some say the mount flange on the manifold needs grinding.

how stupid would it look to run with two 30s on the rear and my 215/75s on the front for a month lol

i have to replace one tire no questions but its smarter to replace 2 at a time and i cant find my current size used cuz they shop acts like they dont exist anymore. and i dont want to buy two 215s if a few months later im gonna want the bigger tires to go with a lift and i dont have the money to buy 4 new tires at the moment....

yea yay for a pointless explaination

Hi, i am having a few electrical problems in my 95 jeep cherokee sport.
A few days ago, i went on a fishing trip in the mountains, and was going through some pretty steep inclines. I guess the fuse to my electric fan blew, and i began to over heat. At the same time, my muffler was too close to the floor of my jeep, and burnt some carpet under the passenger side rear bench seat.
Of course i pulled over and took care of the issues, but then Immediately after this, i got the electrical issues. Now, when i turn the key off and take it out of the ignition my dash still has some power. My oil warning light stays on, and i have auxiliary lights for off road that still have power going to them. (Prior to the incedent, they only received power once the car was running). My stereo, windshield wipers, etc. still do not work though. This power that remains easily drains my battery over night.
Any ideas as to what could be the problem? Is there wires under the rear bench seat that could have possible melted/shorted? any input is appreciated.

Sounds like something I said, although I was probably sober. But like lowrange already pointed out the longer rear DS is better if lifted.

Well, that's the thing, eh. We do have this brand called "Canadian", but it sucks and I like a clean pilsner anyway.

Otherwise I've probably just woken up and can barely type, let alone think or read...
