congrats man! :cheers:

you'd better :yes: there's supposedly some decent wheeling around here. although I'd much rather just visit you in colorado. :thumbsup:

wow! and I was just thinking to myself that I would buy a minicooper right htis minute if only I could get a Swedish flag on the roof! :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf:

as do I. someone come pick me up! :yes:

who needs linkage? just shift it into awd and ignore the rest. :yes: (assuming you never need 4-low :D )

we're all in agreement that he should do away with the CAD altogether :thumbsup: , but it wouldn't address the problem he's avoiding (a bad bearing).

very nice! still my favorite rims :yes: just need to hit those weights with paint. :thumbsup:

I'm a somewhere in the middle when it comes to this topic. I understand that the people need a way to show pride in their country without resorting to carrying a 3x5 on a pole everywhere they go. I don't like using an actual flag for anything but as a flag, but would make peace with a stars and stripes themed headliner. USA floormats? hell no. You can't completely ignore the meaning and intention behind it. for example, burning a US flag as a protest (while technically legal) is in very poor taste and you probably deserve the beat-down that's likely coming your way. But burning a US flag in an official ceremony to retire a worn out piece of cloth is perfectly proper. I was in Boy Scouts for many years and retired dozens of flags. Each one done by the book.

not sure how the AX-15 swap affects this. :dunno: the real problem is that pinion bearing. the temporary solution is getting the CAD to work properly. is it possible the lines are switched?

yup. found plenty of links that said it's a bolt-in swap. :thumbsup: didn't see one with pictures though, sorry.

I swear I read somewhere that it was a bolt-in swap. I'll see if I can find a link.

snoooooowwwww tiiiiirrrreeessssss :brows:

x2. that connector was bad in my 88. :(

everyone should get the 100 bucks just for getting inspected. just got our letter today :D

as easy as it is to swap in a lunchbox locker, I'd swap it in in the fall and remove it come springtime if it really gets annoying. :D not optimal, but probably the cheapest. could do the same for the front for max traction! :yes:

doing pretty good for an old dog. :thumbsup: my snow tires never whined. :dunno: ran them down to practically nothing by the time I had to sell the van.

tirerack.com has some sets of 4 for 350 plus a 100 dollar mail in rebate. that's a set of 4 for 250!!!!! eek! :eek: (shipping and mounting not included, but still!) http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=General&tireModel=Altimax+Arctic&partnum=27QR6AMAXA&vehicleSearch=true&fromCompare1=yes&autoMake=Jeep&autoYear=2000&autoModel=Cherokee%20Classic&autoModClar=

I'm going to be a little different and recommend snow tires. :thumbsup: should easily be under 100 each. traction is phenomenal in any weather. total mileage might not be that great (20-30k) but a lot of cheap tires just plain suck in the snow. :( mileage be dammed... performance and braking is more important to me. :D just be sure to rotate them a bit more often than regular tires. and to show I'm not just blowing smoke, here are the snow tires I put on my minivan (back when I lived in michigan year round). and yes, I would do it again. :yes: (2 sets of tires is ideal, but if I could only have one, this is what i'd do)

neat!

well, hopefully 92mj01xj will chime in, but my guess is that those rear flares are actually front flares (swapped side-to-side). note that they don't go down very far in the rear.

well, technically the cat is a federal emissions law, so yes, technically it would be against the law to remove it. mufflers will generally fall under local noise restrictions. running the engine sans muffler makes my 4.0 insanely loud. there's no way I'd run that way all the time.

awesome! :banana: no such luck for those of us with 2000ish dodges :(

think so. we've been ignoring the letters because ours is both a diesel and already has a factory hitch. but I'm more than happy to remove it for 100 bucks and a new hitch :yes:

:eek: they are offering money now?! dang. I wonder if they'll break down and send us some cash for our liberty :D
