Are the shocks and springs a piece of cake on an 86 Cherokee? I'm in a
high-rust area if that makes a difference. I know I need shocks... the
springs could wait a while but they are rusty and the coils are flaking
apart somewhat.

        I have a 97 wrangler and I would like to put a dual
        Battery tray in.  I have the 4.0l engine with a/c.  
        I seen somewhere one tray wouldnt work if i had
        the a/c.  Was looking for any info if there is one    

My wife and I are buying a well-maintained (regular oil changes, never
ran hard, never towed with, all maintenance done regularly) 1994
Cherokee Sport 4WD w/ 185,000 miles from a friend of ours (so yes, we
know the maintenance history).

i see where Krysler is boasting details of the new g.c., such as a solid
rear axle, and door-mounted seat controls.  Gotta hand it to these engineers
for their brillliant daring.....   duuuuuuuh~~

When I compressed the spring the other day I noticed there was some play
when I moved the spring back and forth.  Should there be any play and if so,
how much?  What's the rule of thumb here?
Thanks,

It looks like fun.

I'm rebuilding a Cherokee Dana 44 rear for my '90 XJ (yes Bill, after
spinning my Dana 35 diff case on the tubes and later crunching some
carrier gears, I felt it was time for a change). I was thinking of
upgrading to a u-bolt style pinion yoke and a 1330 u-joint shaft while

My local dealer's getting my Rubicon from another dealer 300 mi. away and
assures me that the driver won't exceed 55 mph as stated in the break-in

I looked at a 1992 Jeep Cherokee today that makes a noise that sounds like a
"rod knock" while the engine is running. This sound is intermittent and when
it's making the noise, the engine runs rough. When this  noise is gone, the
engine appears to run smooth.

i used a green scrub pad to get some tar off my wheels and it left
scratches.  i dont mind rock rash, but cant tolerate scrubber scratches.
whats the best way to get the scratches out?
