Storm trooper FTW!!! Thats a popular look for sportbikes and streetfighters too, its gonna be rad seing it all done up on a Cherokee. You gonna get some blacked out wheels? Maybe mount a blaster cannon to the passenger door?

No blaster cannon! Haha. And I'm pretty sure it has the higher gear ratio. All the research I have done says that in 99 the manual transmissions camme with the higher gear ratio.

I have a 99 with a ax15 and it has 3.07 gears. All inline six's with 5 speeds come with 3.07 gears, unless swapped out by owners. The older 4 bangers with 5 speeds came with 4.10's but the newer ones came with 3.55's. Thats why I as asking. I have never heard of 3.78 gears in a cherokee.

idk...it says 3.78 under the cryco rear. but that might bust be another number. alright it probably does have 3.07s then. im not disagreeing with you! i guess we just get really good mileage on the highway then

the place i ordered my lift from said they would install it for $250. and my parents said they would pay for it because i will be down in florida so they want it done right. so i just dropped the jeep off and i will get it back tomorrow with the lift and tires installed. then i just need to build my new sub box and mount it and the amp and possibly paint the wheels black before i leave for school.
