I've opted to roll my Tacoma around because the Cherokee is a thirsty beast.

Thanks! That looks great!

As far as the gas prices, they're not TOO bad, but that's mainly because my XJ isn't my DD. If it was, gas would probably be killing me. Although my TL requires premium, and that's pretty expensive itself.

I wish my XJ was my DD. I'm driving an 01 F-150 with a bad injector making around 16 hiway and about 13 or 14 in town! People call me crazy but my 97 made like 20 with my 3 in lift. XJ is parked for now as I am rebuilding the whole darn thing (slowly). Actually heading to Alb monday to go to the u-pull it and pick up some ZJ discs and possibly a 29 spline diff carrier. Have the 27 spline tore apart at my house and seems that I can get better aftermarket parts for cheaper with a 29 spline. Paid 50 for my 27 spline axle, so not losing out on upgrading to a 29. What's gas worth in Alb? Sam's here in Roswell is cheapest at like 3.68 or so...

Gas is about the same here in Albuquerque. Let me know if you find ZJ discs at the u-pull-it. I'm looking for the same thing for my XJ.

I absolutely love the long arms! The coils and leafs are actually RC brand. 4.5 is about perfect for now. Once my tires are worn out, i'll probably be going up to 5.5". The ride is amazing though!

I paid $1500 for everything including the h&t sye and a refurbished driveshaft. For a complete kit with long arms it, wasn't too bad.
