I saw a write up on NAXJA. You take the wiring connector, cut it in half and make it as long as you need to get to the mounting point of your coil. You have to flip the connector so in the end you are soldering #1 wire to #4 etc(there are 4 wires).there are some other coils that will also work. I made a mounting bracket that is attached to the same place as the coolant overflow tank. the wire came from an 02 dodge van at the JY. It come me about $70 to do the conversion. Hook up the coil with the connector facing the firewall 1na6 wires go on the bottom, 2and 5 next and 3 and 4 on top.

My loud *** subwoofer. I like my music and people give double takes when they see it's an XJ making all the noise lol.
Yeah, they're not looking at you in admiration.

The 2000 and 2001 have a coil rail instead of a distributor with spark plug wires. The rail has three coils on it and sits directly on top of the spark plugs. Each of the coils fires two plugs in a waste spark system. There's nothing much to service in the ignition system, since it doesn't have wires to replace or a distributor. If a coil goes bad, you just replace the whole rail.
What he has done is removed the stock coil rail and installed a Viper coil pack. The Viper has two coil packs, one for six cylinders and the other for the remaining four. The six cylinder coil pack has three coils in it that provide about the same performance as the three coils on the stock coil rail. So he has removed the stock coil rail, strapped a similar coil pack to the coolant overflow bottle and added spark plug wires so that he'll have more to replace later.
The Dodge Ram V10 uses the same coil as the Viper. The gain is that it's easier to check for spark than the COP rail. And if you put an older cylinder head on in place of the 0331 head you won't have the the coil rail holes to bolt it down, so you do the remote coil setup.

I changed out the gauge cluster in my 98 with one from an '01 TJ. I was lucky and found one on Ebay that was within 500 miles on the OD of what my factory OD was reading. It's a direct bolt-on (or in this case, screw-on), and works great. The newer cluster looks more modern, has better coloring, and is brighter.
I've done the "proper" bi-xenon front projector headlight conversion. It's not unique, but definitely rare. They are freaking awesome and way better than any other headlight upgrade I've tried.
I also built this custom sub box for the back that fits in the cubby. There are many cubby boxes to be found, but nearly all of them stick out beyond the stock rear panel and you lose floor space. I wanted mine to be flush or recessed with the rear panel so that boxes or luggage would snag on it, and I wanted it to look like it could have come from the factory that way. It's plenty loud enough for my tastes, has a really tight response, and is being pushed by a 400 watt amp under the front passenger seat.
My Kicker CompVT rear cubby sub install. See my thread here:

That's a pretty good reason to do it. It's really the only good reason I've heard.

I kind of have a tradition of making some sort of custom shift **** for all my vehicles. Just a small thing that adds my own person flare. I normally end up spinning them out of an old tree branch/log or something,
Cool, I do the same thing. Way back when, I was camping and the shift **** broke. While in camp I made a new shift **** (tee shaped) out of a stick. This Cherokee is my second standard Cherokee and I replaced the perfectly good **** with a comfortably shaped tee handle.
Gauge Pod mounted for Aux. Light Switch's and room for 4 more.
Flexible arm that mounts under seat mounting bolt with a U-Cutout in bracket. Holds Radio Control Heads this one is an Amateur FM Radio 10/6/2 440/. The main radio unit is mounted under the passenger seat.
CB Radio with everything contained in the mic the small remote box only about 2"x2" mounts under dash on the firewall. The mic, 12v pwr, coax and if desired an external speaker can be plugged into also, I did not need it.
Unique mods
