I know it doesn't appeal to you (not saying it does to me), but just think, it just diversifys the xj. I think the same thing you guys think about it but then I think "Well, at least it shows that the xj isn't just a trail rig/DD.".

A CAI under the hood of a cherokee is not a CAI by any means.

First of all... I only have 31s, but what wheel/tire do you know of that weighs 100lbs??!! Maybe some 38s with super swampers or something on heavy steelies would be close but they wouldn't fit too good on a rack anyway.

for me it's any kind of "stick on" "vent" or carbon fiber. Carbon fiber is supposed to be used for weight reduction and strength so unless you're replacing a piece, you're technically just adding weight and ugliness.

Any rims over 18" with low pro tires on a jeep.

not jeep related, but the attached pic is a good example of tasteful modding, take note people.

Operating temp is around 210*F, a filter stuck next to the block is going to be less sufficient at allowing in cold air than the stock airbox that takes advantage of one of the few places that allow good outside air flow.

I get what your saying but isn't that what the heat shield on them is for?

I kinda relate to the hooked up truck scared to get it dirty. I have a built up 3500 Dodge. I used to take it off road till I put a big dent in it. I realized harming the vehicle I still pay on and depend on bringing home the bacon everyday probably isn't smart. Since then I bought a Jeep and became a proud member of the "watch this!" club. My Dodge still does light wheeling but mainly gets used as the tow rig for the Jeep.

The other part of me still says drive it like you stole it..... it is so much fun!



Yes they are with out a doubt the same truck, LOL
