Interesting that most posters to this thread are in
RED.
I'm new to Jeep ownership and wanted to fix mine right for what I was going to do with it.
I "Googled" something about Cherokee forums / repair and found

.
So far I have learned much, purchased the right parts at the right price, swapped more "stock" parts than I want to think about and spent far too much time here!
Thanks to

information and related links I have;
Purchased and installed new; tires, brakes, shocks, water pump, fuel pump, surp. belts, head lights, battery, all fluids and more than I want my wife to know about.
Mostly factory parts added / swapped to make my 1996 SE 2 door, 2WD, 5 speed a very "oddly optioned" Jeep; Front tow points, full instrument cluster, dash switches for things I don't have, overhead map lights, 2001 rear springs, PowerTrax limited slip (bought from

member) factory skid and class III hitch.
Still waiting to install; Headlight wiring upgrade, front vent wings, overhead console, lots of door pockets, rear 2 door windows with vents, "new" rear hatch (mine's shattered from a minor bump) with added heated glass.
I have saved many times the membership cost, know what to take with me (tools, parts, tow straps, good air pump) and had many knowlegable "friends" to help me out.
So, thanks :

: and all you members out there around the world!
