Default Hey all!

Just picked up a 1995 Sport today.
Runs great!
These 4.0's seem to have a nice amount of power.
Kind of shocked me! Says hi output on the tailgate.
But I didn't think it meant "HIGH OUTPUT". I am impressed!
I see some crap work done on the frame in quite a few places. I will redo that while driving it, and some poor floor work.
I will locate parts and do it right.
But the drive train is great.
Just wanted to say howdy from Pgh, Pa.!

Thanks guys!! I am in Irwin. Right off the Irwin turpike exit.
I drove mine a little today. Before I take it off the road. What a great drivetrain. I need to do the floorpans. Strange the body didnt rust.
I must have to get used to Cherokees. Feels kind of goofy driving down the road. My wifes xterra, which I call a mall hopper, drives smooth. My Jeep feels odd. Like it wanders around a bit in the back too. Kind of hard to explain. Nothing bad. Just different. I checked underneath. Everything is tight. Springs...etc.

Check you leaf bushings, Mine were shot when i pulled the old springs out, plus your rear leafs may be shot also.

Post up some pictures, any plans or just to DD it and minor wheelin'?

I'm guessing you are closer to Pittsburgh than Philadelphia?

Yes I am only about 30 minutes to pgh.
I do have plans on lift..suspension...etc. I did check the rear leafs and bushings. All seem tight. Its probably normal ftom what I have read. It is not horrible. I am probably making it out worse than it is. I was just used to my wifes suv.
