What is the best looking rim for this Cherokee? That will also be sturdy enuff for off road and daily driving. My XJ is white. Here's a pic. I sold these rims and tires. I'm about to purchase a new set of rims just wondering yalls opinion about what would look the sexiest on this XJ.

They're Versante, so you know they're good

But seriously, buy what you like. Other people can put what they like on their own Jeep

Am I at risk of damage to my transfer case if I have New tires on the back and bald ones on the front in 4 low? Or is the difference not significant enough.

Is there some magic ****ing method to getting this rusted brake fitting out of my soft line? God forbid one thing on this crap Jeep just come off easily or be done easily. I had to cut the old line to get it out, and now I cannot get this flare nut out of the soft line. It's rust welded or some ****. I've tried flare wrench, channel locks tighter than hell, nothing. And now its got wife in an uproar about the Jeep. I swear to God it's 5 seconds from getting donated or hauled to a wreckers.

[This is the irrational and irritated part of me blowing a fuse, so bear with me.]

As long as you're driving it off road, no. Your bald tires won't give enough traction off road to mess anything up in the transfer case. You shouldn't drive on the pavement in 4-lo anyway.

Ok guys, noobish question incoming.

99 XJ 4x4
Stock Steering

Trying to install a steering stabilizer but there is not enough clearance between the axle side bolt and the tie rod/drag link to pull the bolt out. What do I need to do at this point to get enough clearance to get the bolt out?

Either raise and support chassis a few inches (at crossmember) to allow axle to droop some.
Or jack up one side of axle or the other to change the angle.
Or turn steering wheel to left and draglink/tierod joint will follow.
