Man so many ways to go here...I know how to weld but don't have a welder anymore. I guess maybe I need to get a better idea of what this thing is going to weigh. I'd prefer something on the smaller side. To be totally honest I I like tent camping...this is all for the wife.

Is this a bolt on to the D30?

Hey thanks for all the info guys. I've considered doing a swap to a D44 but I really don't offroad much. Usually it's just out far enough to jump on my KTM. I live in San Jose CA, so there's some hills around here but nothing crazy. We will probably want to take it up to the Sierras though...

Ah got it. Thanks for the info!

That's nice and clean! I should clarify by "hack" I meant pulling and grinding used parts and re-purposing. Not at all opposed to piecing something together, would just prefer it all to be bolt on.

Hey all. Haven't been on here in almost 8 years now and my XJ has about 200k on the original motor and trans...wow...where the hell does the time go! Recently my wife and I have been considering getting a popup camping trailer. It will weigh ~ 2000lbs. My XJ currently has a cheap 3.5 budget...

I think this is what I'll do. Running an extra harness seems kinda silly if one is already there AND it has a nice factory switch already inside. Now that the haze of time is pulling back I'm remembering that the bulbs I installed in the stock fog lights are the exact same bulbs I just put in...

I was thinking something like that as well. Any thoughts on just rerouting the stock fog light wiring? I've run 100w bulbs in those for years with no ill effects.

I'm going to be doing some nighttime dune wheeling this weekend and decided to install some Hella lights to help see those unexpected drop offs. I got some 100w bulbs to replace the 55w bulbs they came with to brighten things up even more. Now the problem is I'm looking at the wiring diagram...

I did my water pump about a month ago and it came with a gasket.

Perfect, thank you.

Hey guys I searched but didn't get anything. Can I put the same trans fluid (I used DEX III) in the T-case and the trans?

I had the same problem with mine. Just do a google search for "96 cherokee stereo wiring diagram" or something like that, that's how I found one for mine. There are a few sites out there that will tell you what all the wires are.

Whoops! Misread you there! I still stand by my other advise though, I think a breaker bar is your best bet, they come in very handy.

God I've never even come close to that! I've always gotten about 300 to a tank, I drive with a bit of a lead foot though.
