I always put whatever stands I am not already using under wherever I can so if it fell I wouldn't get crushed ha ha. I realized I put it into full time 4x4 which disconnects front and rear axles I think. Not sure. I ended up putting my rear wheel in front of my front wheels as an extra chock and throwing it into PT 4WD.
I think it was just the little bit of slack in the driveline showing, but I didn't want to risk it.
Differential finally shimmed.

And learn you shall!
235/75R15 is the largest size ou can fit on stock suspension with ZERO modification or issues. 30" tires can be made to fit but you have to live with trimming, rubbing, and/or new rims.
As for brand, well, there are tons of those. What sort of climate are you in? What is your tolerance for road noise, what do you want to play in? Mud, rocks, and sand are very different.
I am very happy with my Goodyear Duratracs but they are a lot louder than an all-terrain. Particularly at optimal cruising speed. I have a 100 KM round-trip commute so this annoys me.
Lastly some 2001 XJs shipped with 16" rims. May want to check

Will mostly drive in north or Atlanta and really, no idea where I will play yet (most likely mud)

I tried to replace my cigar lighter outlet once before when I took my dash apart. Couldn't get it separated from the plastic. Is the plastic mount removable from the cigar lighter outlet?

Physically, yes the newer AW4 will bolt up, but it won't work with your TCU without some modification to the transmission and wiring. Details are here: http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?t=1053970
Mid-1990 right on through 1996 are the same unit, though.

Horn/alarm trouble..
Ok long day today, locked my keys in my 99 jeep xj 4 dr auto and I fished the power door lock to unlock it, i than went to straighten out the wheel in my jeep from the inside of the car and when I hook the battery back up the horn goes off.. Could this be from unlocking the car the wrong way? Thanks in advance.
