On a completely random note, does anyone know what happened to the model year badge on the left of the screen, that used to be included under the "My Photos" link? Seems to have disappeared...

Also, any time the A/C or Defroster is on, the electric fan comes on. It's supposed to do that to pull heat off of the condenser coil.
Thanks for the info.

89 XJs have a cable speedo. Either the cable is gummed up, or it got kinked at some point. You may need a new cable to fix it.

My Cherokee came with a 1.5 Teraflex BB. It is time to replace the stock shocks and springs. Any suggestions on whether to just buy stock replacements, or should I buy something that is rated for a lift? If so, what brand and model if you know? I'm not sure if a small lift like the BB would even need shocks and springs beyond stock replacements, but thought I'd check before spending the money. I did try multiple searches, but got back a ton of irrelevant threads.

My power locks haven't worked since I bought it. The PO told me it just needed an actuator to fix it. Is that correct? It's a 99 Sport.

Thanks in advance!

I'm running 33x13.5r15 tires with the Dana 30 front and 35 rear. What gears are better 4.56 or 4.88? Also thinking about a Spartan locker in the front. Any suggestions?

Check your PM's. As far as lockers, a Spartan or an Aussie is all the rave from what I understand. I'm going for an Aussie eventually.
