One step forward two steps back... (Sold Kia a step in the right direction... You can figure out the rest)

 

Got the last matching shock installed!

 

pricey stabilizer haha...but, you're matching now.

 

I dont even know how much it is haha. The guys at the local Jeep place (4 west) like me. So they let me try it and if I like it, then I buy it. Cant imagine it being more then $80 which im fine with.

 

Yeah it's about $80...I just dont think there's a big difference in stabilizers for me to justify that price...heck alot on here don't run em...but it is kinda cool to have a bilstein one haha

 

I get what you mean. Im sure there are ones half the price that work just as well. But this one matches haha. Worth a little extra to me.

 

Put it up for sale. Thats what I did. I want to sell it, buy a stock one, and with next years taxes, build the ish out of it

 

Yes after many years of helping others I dragged my first 1989 Jeep Cherokee 2WD home. It is rough inside and it needs a new drivers seat but its mine. Hopefully the budget will have it road ready by next month and mostly ready for the deerwoods by October. That includes Linex the body, a good winch, brushguard and maybe roof basket.
The big goal is to find another XJ and convert it to 4WD with about a 6" lift.

 

Are there different motor mounts for different year XJ I have a 2000 and found another motor 4.0 L6 out of a 2001 and my motor mounts fit weird there is a half inch gap between two of the three holes I'll send pictures I really need help!

 

Are you also switching the bracket that mounts to engine block? The rubber mounts should be the same. What is different is the 4.0 mounts for the grand cherokee and 2.5 liter mounts for the 4 cylinder XJ.
This picture shows mounts for the XJ, same for left and right.

 

Not Cherokee related, but I sold my Harley w/in 24-hours of listing it on CL.

Bye Sporty! Its been fun, but I won't miss cleaning those whitewalls.

 

When you get the main-2-mounts situation figured out, while in the process, 'STRONGLY recommend you also get a new OEM rear mount and change that out while you are at it.

Worth the extra couple $$ (not much) for peace of mind to have (all) 3 new mounts. 'Worked here, for sure. Best of fortune!
