ALSO, I also ordered a transmission mount from xj wonders. THAT hE was able to drop it 1/4” so that will help with the clearance even more
Maybe because it's a 4cyl. It's possible that with the bell housing and the bellhousring mount. That it's just sitting farther up then it would be in a 4.0.

XJwonders is a great guy, and if you haven't done it yet, I'd highly suggest his battery cable upgrades. Got them on my XJ and MJ.

Not a bad looking specimen, overall. Get that wiring straightened out and it sounds like you'll be good to go.

Getting the wirring straighter out is what I'm in the process of. Oh basslick I replied to that post I made a few mins ago.

For 600 dollars other then the few stupid issues its alot better Cherokee then my 98 2dr was. No frame cracks transmission shifts buttery smooth. Compared to the old one. No crazy notchyness in the transfercase when it put it in 4x4 and this one has tow package with the LSD in rear end. Just no 3.73s I was hoping it would come with.. Drives better. just everything about it. Is alot better. I feel like I way over paid for the old one. But I also bought that one when I was over seas a few months before I got home. So I had money to spend and I wanted it. But it's what ever.

Right now I'm piecing partsthe swaybars anyways. Trying to do it cheaper then buying the kit. Along with double sheer track bar cause together from rough country for a 4.5in lift. I would get the kit but I don't need the sway bar links and stuff cause I'm removing I know it's going to need it.

Figured they would be the same...
I’ll eventually get around to getting the wires
Just not in the plans right now...

Might be in the plans to sell the Cherokee...
Having 2 jeeps down really killed me...gotta have a reliable car/truck and not projects to scoot around any more...
But the Comanche is staying...just gotta clean it up and do a couple things to it

Yeah I just read the replies a few minutes ago. Sounds like Jeepin'AintEZ has you on the right path. No need for me to get in there and comment based on my inexperience with your issue lol.... it's definitely a great Jeep especially for what you paid for it. I think ya kinda stole it, man!

If he doesn't want 'em, I might be interested.
