Welcome to CF from Washington state. Throw out a thread with whatever Cherokee questions you may have. Gurantee somebody on here will be able to help you. I personally own 87 and 91 XJs. So, I've worked on the Renix era XJ and the HO era XJ quite a bit.

Welcome from NC. Trail beater sounds fun. If it's going to be a trail rig then here's an idea to get you started.
3" budget lift w/ shocks - very cheap
31's
Hack away at the front fenders
Rear fenders do a tuck and fold on them unless you got a mig welder.
Install some tow points.
Get a 8.25 29 spline or D44.
Welded up the rear end and go have a ball.
Shoot me a pm if you got some questions about how to do anything listed for supper cheap while not sacrificing quality to much. I love stretching out a dollar on a cheap jeep.

Is it a 27 spline or a 29 spline? 89 XJ's came with 27 splines. If you're only running 31's tough you shouldn't have any trouble out of it.
