I am having a problem with my electric coolant fan. I checked the fan and it is good....Can anyone tell me where the relay is ? It is a 89 cherokee with the 4.0 also can anyone tell me where I can get the under the hood relay cover and hardware. Mine is gone, I would sure like to cover that part of the engine compartment up !! Thanks

Does anyone have any experience with the Maxis Buckshot Mudder XMT I found a set for of 31/10.5/15 for $500. Are they any good and is that a good deal?

Good brand. Be careful if you found that on Craigslist or something. He probably just took a picture of the spare multiple times lol.

Looks like a good deal to me. I priced another set of 31's before i got my 32's and was quoted $600 or more in every brand of tire. And thats at the cheapest place in 100 miles.

Hey guys, quick question here..
I was looking at buying some spicer 1310s for my front drive shaft but the guy I talked to over the phone told me that every time he replaces the U joints the blow up after about 10,000 miles or so because their is no way to service the double cardan joint. He says he ends up getting a driveshaft shop to cut his off and put a whole new one on.
The reason I am buying new u joints because I am doing a hack n tap and the front driveshaft I bought (used) doesn't come with any U joints so I am not sure how many miles are one the thing..

Thanks for helping me out guys, I definitely didn't want to have to do all that just for U joints lol.
One last question, how bad are the greasable u joints? I can get greasable 1310s for $15 a pop with free shipping. Well.. they would be shipped to a store a couple miles away from my house and then I'd go pick them up. So technically they shipping is free

My exhaust has been loud for awhile and finally really loud. I was quoted a price of $576 (parts and labor) I think that seems crazy for a stock exhaust (Cherokee Sport 2001).
Am I being unrealistic that it should be less? They charged me $100 for a weld that lasted a mere 10 miles (the one on the front has held, but the support in the back broke within 10 miles). I know the support needs to be replaced or it will crack at the pipe again, but I can't get the bolt out to put the new hanger on.
Thanks-
Avin
