Hello my name is Jason. I am new to the forum but not new to owning a jeep or wheeling. I lived in michigan for 28 years then we moved to arizona. I lived there for two years and we have relocated to orem utah ( 35 miles south of salt lake 3 hours from moab). Anyway I traded my 02 Yamaha Warrior for a 1999 Jeep Cherokee Classic. I got the jeep home and relized that it had a cooling problem. Well I thought it was the core was completly plugged with mud. Nope it was completly clogged inside and the head gasket was bad. So I changed it out and completley changed the cooling system and everything is good now. But anyway heres the specs
- 4.0L
- AW4
- NP 231
- HP 30
- C 8.25
- 3.55 gears

 

Is this going to be a build. Looks clean inside, and glad you joined the cherokee club

 

I think something is wrong with your shift key, maybe the caps lock. Your user name and title are all jibberish.
Whats in the garage?

 

My plans include ( let me know what you think)
- 8" iro long arm lift
- 4.88 gears
- lunchbox lockers
- 35" mtrs
- homebrew bumpers
- removeable doors
- 8000 lbs winch

 

the garage holds the father in laws s10 zr2 rock buggy hes building

 

Sounds like a real monster. Post some pics once you are done.

 

Looks good except this. Any reason you want so much lift? Are you set on IRO for a specific reason?

 

I know its to much lift for the rocks but we are planning on moving back to michigan next spring and I will need it for the mud

 

as for iro there products look fairly stout but its rough country or iro?

 

IRO is a better budget lift than RC, IMO.

 

Thank you sir for the welcome

 

why only IRO or RC?

 

I guess it depends on which kit you are looking at. With that much lift I assume you are looking at the long arm kit.
If that is the case, than most people dont like the adjuster for castor that they use with a single 10mm bolt as the upper. I really dont either, but have yet to hear of any real problem with it. A friend of mine ran them and never had an issue.
If that doesnt bother you than fine. Otherwise go with one of the other brands.

 

The iro adjuster doesn't bother me. plus I like the three link design or ( iron y ) it looks like it flexes out nice Ive seen the rough country in person i'm not to impressed

 

how about clayton or rockkrawler or serious offroad? they all make quality long arms
