Looks great. The xj is my favorite Jeep. Wish they still made it.

The XJ is my favorite as well! Never could really get into Wranglers, CJ's, or even JK's.
The XJ I had didn't come with any recovery points in the rear so I had to fix that by installing a tow package in the rear
Figured I'd start a thread for my Jeep Cherokee, I'm starting to like this place more than other places
Here is Betty the day I got her.

I took her to Pismo to have a little fun, first time driving my OWN 4x4 vehicle there.
Got pretty stuck, air downed even more and she drove right out of this hole.
This dune happened to be the perfect ramp. Jumped her 3 times.
Learned that there wasn't enough clearance with the fenders and jumping.. did come down hard of the passenger side though.
Note to self: No more jumping. (Got that bug out of me)

'Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure (1989)'
Bill: [reading from their history textbook] "The only true wisdom consists in knowing that you know nothing."
Ted: [gasps] That's us, dude!
Bill: Yeah!
guess it goes with the quote though..
Okay, I can appreciate your observation; let me see if I can help.
If that wasn't helpful I have some sock puppets and we can go through it again via Skype.
- Read post #5. Pay particular attention to the last couple sentences.
- Ruminate over your conclusion.
- Examine the final picture of the post.
- Watch the film, 'Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure.'
- Review the film quote.
- Utilizing the deductive process observe that there is a similarity between the content and conclusion in post #5 and the film quote.

DUDE! I heard last week they are getting back together for a sequel based on the original story. SWEET!

Jeep made the Cherokee with a rather crappy floor pan. So they are prone to rust. Having a flowmaster under the floor which was a little closer than the stock muffle caused the rust to accelerate a little bit. So when on a trail with some friends I smelled something funny and turned around to find that my floor was on fire/smoldering.
No problem. Fixed it right quick.

Did you change the thermostat and hoses at the same time? Having owned an XJ I know their cooling systems can be finicky.

I didn't change the thermostat, but I did replace a few of the hoses.
Haha yeah, seems like pre-92 the XJ's weren't the best creations. This one still does have a plastic reservoir. But if it goes again I will put in an aluminum one.
I learned from an old guy at the machine shop. No tools except a medium sized ball peen hammer. It was like fast forward photography lol. I can do it but it takes me 5 minutes per joint
Nice jeep btw, Cherokees make great platforms to build from. They are so simple
