The main power wire that goes to my ignition switch had a short to ground I couldn't find the short so I ran my own power leg off from the battery with a fuse and no further prob at the moment

Cut off the front half of your cherokee, build some sort of frame and tie it into your unibody really very damly goodly well. Build motor mounts and crossmember and wire that badboy in.

Hey guys,

New here. New XJ owner, poor college student, too blindly trusting of mechanics about sums me up.
Already up the creek without a paddle on this XJ but man I love it in the snow.

This is what they look like. I have no use for them so if any of you need them and don't feel like they're worth 50$ throw me a offer! I'm in west valley area.

Well I was interested. But had an issue with the batteries in the ford so now I've got to spend left over money on those. If you still have them in a couple weeks I'll get them.

They may work. I know the purpose behind them is to regain the factory control arm angles which gives a better ride and handling.
