So I just bought a 99 xj. It is in good shape and want to use for daily ride and wheel with. It has the 4.0 and 5 speed but was wondering how to get more power before I lift and get bigger tires. And recommendations? I'm also looking at the 4.5" lift.

Great looking Cherokee!

Been thinking about some flares...Not sure they'll work with my cutout fenders though.

Ended up trading the long arm lift and some other things for a jetboat. In the process of buying it all back now.

I say get out on the trail and see what limits you...Upgrade that first, and go from there.

Got the Trucklite LED lights. Having a problem tho. When I'm showing them off, vehicle not running, they work fine. As soon as I start it though, the brights are always on, when I turn the brights on everything flickers. Have no clue what would cause that.

Did you do anything funky with the wiring when you had the HID's? I have the TruckLites also and they were plug and play. No issues whatsoever.

Nothing, and they worked fine. I put the Putco harness on yesterday, and it's better, but still not right. I have low beam until I turn on high beam, then they will not go off until I just turn all lights off and turn them on again. Strange...
