Is that all aftermarket? Are they the solid Steering Linkage and Tirerod Bar? Looks great!

All OEM Replacement parts from Napa. Cheaper than any after market DOM steering kit I could find, hell even cheaper than piecing one together.. Plus no knuckle mods to be done, just bolt on and go.

I used a stock XJ drag link as its allready a solid link. The tie rod is off any V8 ZJ (93-98? I think) and its also a solid link, 1" OD with larger rod ends than the XJ got stock.

Not as strong as going with a DOM kit maybe but this truck wont see hard core trails so I think it will be more than adequate.

Thanks!
Drives great too, really glad I replaced all of the steering at the same time.

Hi guys! I just joined and luckily I found this thread, so my first post is about Jeeps! Here is my '96 XJ. It's about a 3.5" lift with 31's. She's a pavement princess with about 290k on the clock, so no 4 wheeling for her. When I hit the trails it's on my dirt bike.



Here is my oldest son and I at the top of Red Cone 4 years ago.

290K - Wow!!
Original engine?

Yes sir. The only thing that I've had to do, is a valve job at around 260ish IIRC. The 4.0 engines are awesome. I call them " the Cummins of gas engines". I'm also OCD about maintainence so that helps. The Aisin auto trannies in them are incredible too. It's never had any work done to it other than services.

I bet the hill at the end of Red Cone is a blast on a bike!

Not really. Actually, now that I think about it, it really stinks.

Here is my oldest son's Cherokee. It's a 2000 with a 4.5" BDS lift on 32's. It has the "Up Country" package with a LSD, skidplates, etc. We'll go wheeling in it.

Nice looking Cherokee's!

I had a White 92 that looked just like your 96.

Thanks! They sure have been good vehicles. Our 16 year old son has a white '97 that he'll be getting lifted eventually.
