From what I remember a zj gas skid will fit the 97+ with a little cutting as for the front any xj front skid will work.

A TJ is just a 2 door wrangler I thought, looks like a two door wrangler.

A TJ is just the design that ran from 97 to 06, that why alot of there parts fit cherokees more so 97+ ones. They didnt make much but there were some four doors, but they look way longer than the JK

I couldnt tare apart a ****** so not as cool. I almost got a RHD cherokee, but it wasnt 4wd and after looking into what the conversion takes I decided against it.

I had the CPS bolts my Buddy needed, so he should be in on Sun.

I completely took apart all my suspension replaced my control arm bushings on the axle they were completely gone, only rubber on one side. Rebuilt my shackle bushings and torn down all my flex joints cleaned, greased them up and re-tightened. I cut off the shock boots they only been on a month and already had junk in them. The only reason I used them in the first place because they came with the shocks. Installed the replacement mirror I torn off, I'm ready to go.
