    Junk Yards in the SLC Area

    Thanks everybody! I went to a junkyard I haven't been to before yesterday on my lunch break and found a Cherokee with a hitch in decent condition and it also has a factory front skid plate and factory front tow hooks. I'm taking an extended lunch break today to go grab all that before somebody...

    Junk Yards in the SLC Area

    Anybody have recommendations on junk yards in the SLC area that would be good to pull XJ parts? I'm specifically looking for a trailer hitch at this point. I have been going to the PicknPull on 3300 S just west of 15 because it is close to me but they haven't had many XJs and on the 2 they...

    Wanted XJ Full Size Spare and recovery points

    Central Utah February RME Trail Run - Little Sahara Dunes

    I am definitely interested. I need to get some recovery points figured out on the XJ on a very limited budget but if I can get that sorted I'm in. I don't want to be that guy that gets stuck and isn't set up properly to have somebody pull me out.

    Jeep Cherokee XJ Build Advice needed

    Right now my plan for wheels is 15x8 Cragar Soft 8's. It looks like 3.75" or 4" of backspacing is what is recommended. I'm open to other wheel options but the soft 8's seem to be reasonably priced and will do what I want them to. Do you think I should definitely stick with 31" tires? The...

    Jeep Help needed Cherokee XJ with spun rod bearing

    How much would you want for the crankshaft? I may be interested in that. I've been looking into re-manufactured engines and so far I haven't found a company I feel super comfortable buying one from. All I read about online is people with engine problems and the companies not wanting to honor...

    Just got a Jeep. Now have a dead jeep.

    Hello everybody. I live in Salt Lake City and got myself a 96 XJ with 162k miles on it about 6 weeks ago. Up until a week ago I have been loving it and got out to explore Farmington Canyon. Before I got the jeep I explored Utah in my Subaru Forester which other than poor ground clearance has...

    Jeep Help needed Cherokee XJ with spun rod bearing

    I have a 96 Cherokee with 162k miles on it. I have only owned it for 6 weeks. It developed an engine knock about a week ago. I stopped driving it as soon as the knock started and trailered it home. I ended up dropping the oil pan and discovering that the connecting rod bearing for cylinder #4...
