nice man 3 sounds alot better haha. One on bumper, some on back for reversing, and if you want some pods on the side. You can only see so far anyway.more lights don't help haha. You have a 20 inch bar on the bumper, having a 50 inch on the roof or something increase vision by a small percentage

3.73 isn't much better then stock...depending on tire size either 4.10s or 4.56 gears are the way to go.

Did you ever figure out if you had 3:55s? More then likely do so 3:73 isn't a big step up.

So I was reading the Cherokee manual cause I had it in front of me (thanks to my dad bringing it home so I could read/use it) and it didn't mention header panel removal and also the fender removal steps. I asked him (my dad) and he says it's similar to how the grand Cherokee fenders are in terms of removing them. He also said that I'm going to have a really hard time with the header panel, so once again I'm wondering just what am I getting myself into with this lol
