Thanks, Clown, much appreciated. I actually was looking at those Firestone Destinations.
I like to come onto these owner forums to get real world opinions on a specific tire on a specific vehicle. When I owned an Nissan 300ZX I was about to pop for a set of Pirellis when I read on that owner site that the favorite tire among the other owners of my year ZX was the Goodyear Eagle F1. Holy, Jeez, did that tire make a huge difference in handling; it was like a new suspension. (But after having to replace 2 sets of them after 20K miles each I couldn't afford them any more. I went to a set of Falkens and the car suddenly sucked so much I lost interest in driving it.)
But for my R-rated needs on the Jeep, you're probably right that just about any tire will do... but I like leaning on someone else saying, "Loved these tires on the same model and year vehicle you're driving!"
Thanks again.

Are the bolts used to hold on the intake & exhaust manifolds the same same from '96-'01?
I lost one yesterday disassembling, and can pull one from a 2001 Cherokee at the local yard.

How can I figure out which gears I have without tearing into the diff? I have a 98 classic, 4x4 with 4.0 and AW4. I think they are 3.55 but not sure if I have the tow package or not. I have a hitch but don't know if its stock or previous owner put it on. And search on here is not yielding me results

Is it bad or good if my engine can maintain normal operating temp without the e-fan? Still goes up to 218 at the same spot on my drive to work and cools itself back down like normal. I have my e-fan hooked up to a switch i was using for fog lights but i took them out and figured i could hook up the fan while i was under there. Only curious lol
