Hello all,

Just wanted to say hi and intro myself. The name is Jay and I just bought a 99 Cherokee Sport today. This is my first Jeep. My wife had a YJ,but it was hers. I love this thing. It rides nice and has really good power. Its got a few bugs,but I will hash them out over this comming week.

I might be new to Jeeps but I have been a car guy for years. So I look forward to learning all I can,so thanks in advance. Here are some pics of it still at the lot.

Nice xj. Welcome to forum!

OEJ

Thanks for the welcome.
Yes. I want to do a 4-4.5" lift with some 31 or 32's. Not sure. She is my DD,so I can't go to over the top.I definately want atleast a 4" lift.

I have been reading on here for the past 4 days and i know i don't want an AAL,so this will cost me some,but i can't wait to do it. I have lots of plan.

Welcome to CF! Good looking '99! If you're planning on a 4-4.5" lift, you'll most likely need either a 1" t-case drop or an SYE. The SYE is nice, but a t-case drop will work just fine. The 97-01's tend to get rear drive shaft vibrations after being lifted a lot easier than the 84-96 XJ's.

SYE. Is that a slipyoke eliminator? I'm not a 4x4 guy. Yet. I come from motorcycles,mustangs and a couple of vettes. Mainly all 2wd cars,but i'm learning alot and have a few friends that are diehard jeep lovers and are very happy i have one now.lol

ive just got the jeep sport 2.5 petrol nice motor youve got there lot more power than mine but here in england petrol is £1.30 per litre so a 4 litre would cost a fortune to run,ive got the repair manual but not the owners manual could you tell me how to set the clock to the correct time cheers john.

OEJ

Ozzie,

here is what my manual says.

1.turn the ignition switch to the on or ac position. using the point of a pen,press either the hr (H) or minute (M) buttons on the radio. the display will show time.

2. Press the H button to set hrs or the m for minutes,obviously. the time setting will increase each time you press a button.

ozzieowl

yours must be different to mine my clock is on the same panel as the tempreture and miles per gallon above my head,sorry john.

OEJ

Thats allright John. To be honest I didn't think they were goin to be the same. For one you're over seas and I'm sure that not all head units were the same for the US and UK.
Jay.

i will take some pics of mine tommorow its too dark and cold now.ive had about 5 jeeps now but this is the first sport its a lot different to the others.

no rdplz

that would be correct. Like I said though, for 4-4.5", a 1" t-case drop should be fine.
