Just an FYI, some of you may already know but I didn't and wasted some time digging to find the answers I needed. If you are planning on doing a front brake/rotor change and/or hub assy replacement on a 1999 Cherokee... there are two sizes. Some manufacturers state the sizes as 78mm or 82mm. Others simply state whether the rotor is cast or composite. You have to measure the stud on the Hub/Bearing Assy prior to purchase. Measure with Rotor off Hub Assy.
If stud=1 1/2"...you require the CAST rotor.
If stud=1 1/8"...you require the COMPOSITE rotor.
I was confused during this process until I actually took the rotor off and matched up the hub studs.
Hope this helps somebody!

Which nuts?

Everything in the steering should have castle nuts and cotter pounds

Found that one out the first time I did the rotors. Turns out the more expensive of the two was the correct choice for mine Originally Posted by quicksdraw92

I went with white. I did not change the lights on the climate control section or the switches below that. The pictures in your build thread really show the difference, so I am motivated to finishing up this weekend.Originally Posted by CurrySoSpicy
only hiccup I had was finding out that my shifter bezel was broken. Nothing some modeling glue can't fix. What color did you get?

it's pretty easy. The center climate control **** is vac lines. Two post each with a nut. Undo nuts and pull vac line piece off. Other than that simple.Originally Posted by MXDNJSport

You can change between the 2 as long as you change brake rotors too. I had just put new hubs on my 96ZJ so I bought the old style replacement rotors when I did all my brakes and swapped the new hubs to the XJ.Originally Posted by 5-Speed

Correct. I'm actually using old hubs with newer rotors because my original rotors were touching the dust boots on my 1-ton steering. This configuration sets the rotors about 1/4" further out than factory.Originally Posted by rcguymike

I don't really recommend that, though, cause it was a struggle to compress the piston enough for reassembly. The outer pad is just barely still on the slide.

Centric Premiums are all I would run for rotors. Cheap on Amazon

Real reason was to address a leaky VC gasket, but I think I found my vacuum leak. Hopefully the rough idle will be solved!
