Actually, in Colorado, your vehicle needs to be pre-1976 to get a collector plate(used to be 25 yrs or older). In Larimer the emissions zone goes west beyond Bellvue. With a Comanche, you can get farm tags for a truck IF you have acreage and are willing to sign an affidavit that it wil be used primarily on the farm. I have a 90 Pioneer and it doesn't have a check engine light. No pre-OBD system does, only a mileage related advisory light to get your emission system checked. It is not a "learning" system. Had to educate our local emissions station since my truck had just passed 75,000 miles (mileage trigger) when I bought it. It took about 10 extra minutes for them to call and self-educate. No problem They did a visual and idle test.

How about a rear out of an Explorer 8.8? Strong as a 44. Downside is c-clips. Would be great for a DD, or a mild build. Comes in 3.55/3.73/4.10 usually a LS and disc brakes for anywhere from $250-$450 depending on condition.

Go to Rusty's and get his tie rod system for the Cherokee. Heavy duty and gets rid of the "Y" system that sometimes causes bump steer. Definite upgrade.
