I got my amp finally. And installed it plus my sub ive had a few months, wired it all up with a knukonceptz 8 guage cca kit. Its overkill on the wiring but if i ever want to upgrade to a bigger amp and sub i wont have to rewire it. I also cleaned up some of my underhood wiring with some loom, made it look a million times better under there!

I was really impressed with the quality of the kit! The 8g wire is as thick as some 4g cables i have from my old blazer that i got locally.

I got his 4g for a 22ft run in the Camaro. Huge, but remarkably flexible.

Siphon the gas out of the Cherokee and put it in my comanche. Cherokees rad decided to leak from the fins and since it also needs a cat I'm just going to take her off the road till I can fix her. I wish I had the money to fix her but I simply can't afford it right now. And with the temp rising I'm not gonna push her with a leaky rad.

Yeah, freeway at 55-60mph.

That add probably refers to a 2wd Cherokee getting 24/33, the text is too blurry to read.

I got 26 mpg last year on the drive back from my vacation. Didn't use GPS, but all of the calculations for that trip were above 20mpg, 6 tanks IIRC. All highway driving, I also kept a consistent speed and didn't stop nearly at all.

Its a 99/4.0/aw4/4wd , I got a spectre intake, accel tune up, 784 injectors, glass pack exhaust otherwise stock.
