I have my grill insert off doing stuff and since it has been a day or so I have walked by it and thought that a differnt grill might be good!
Has anyone produced a differnt style grill for the Cherokee?

That's what I figured. Prolly try it anyways lol. Why do the fuel rails get ugly so quick? My pops had a new one in, two weeks later looked like it had 100k on it. Lol.

I'm going to assume it's on a '98 (as you side info would imply)? If so, try replacing your turn signal flasher.

Been researching a little about OTK/UTK steering upgrades, however, I can't seem to find any info or reason(s) for needing to relocate the trac-bar.

Does anyone know why you have to swap this?

... The problem with threads like this is that they're so doggone long & sometimes the same questions get asked multiple times. Plus it's hard to find your own post

Because the stock track bar mount gets in the way. Same with the sway bar mounts.

NOT having to relocate these things is why I went with IRO steering kit. No relocation required.

Back to battling the elusive chirp, should my idler wiggle at all with the belt off? It's cranked on a tight as it will go, but wiggles slightly.

I was worried that there was a wiring problem. $16 dollars later and the problem was fixed. Thanks man.
