Just bought 89 cherokee, total city jeep. Long term project is to make it strictly off road. Besides lift, what is the next thing I should look at to upgrade?

 

If you have to ask...

 

I'd say tires lol

 

Pics? I have an 89 limited

 

I tried to post a pic, it is in a folder called Sally's City Jeep.

 

Since you have a Renix XJ you'll want to read up and do Cruiser's tips.

Depends how it will be used off road,A rock crawler and a mud truck are built differently.

 

@ Nick B, thanks for the grounding tips! Awesome that somebody went to the trouboe of typing this up! @Andrewmp6, I'm in AZ. What's mud look like? lol

It has a D35 rear end. Is it worth it to put a locker in or am I just asking for breakage? My wife will be driving it mostly and not doing anything too extreme. Thinking of a Power Trax.

 

If you don't care about having abs you can swap in a chrysler 8.25.Its a stock rear end for the none abs xj its a lot stronger then a dana 35.The 97 and newer xj got the 29 spline 8.25 which most say is the best one to use.

 

and, is easily converted to disc brakes.

 

Oh god, here we go again.

 

Stupid question F1Addict, how do you post pics like you did on road trip I & II?

 

Thanks andrewmp6, will keep my eyes peeled for rear end.
