On that jeep it can do its own self diagnosis. If no mechanic has messed that jeep up here is what you do, and I will guide you through the rest. First, put the key in the ignition and turn the key in this sequence starting from off-on-off-on-of-on and at that point some P0*** will show where the odometer is write them down and post those numbers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6pSQvLJ7QY 1 Like |

eddy2farm: For me, the side pillars should have been left and reinforced to make it like a bucket at the back. That way rear wobble at the rear would be eliminated at high speeds. I salute your DIY but it would have been cheaper to sell the Cherokee and use the money to buy a Ford ranger, Nissan frontier, kia Bongo, VW vanagon truck, Suzuki every truck etc. But the Cherokee would do light duty work because of the rare suspension wasn't made for heavy tonnage.

[color=#006600][/color]I have raised the back suspension by adding another c 180 Benz spring for heavy loading carrying. It work perfectly from the picture below u can see the double spring and the distance of Tyre to chassis nurey:

Is the frame a unified frame or independent? If unified it might bend under load as the roof is part of what makes it stable |

[color=#006600][/color]well I don't understand ur question but believe the spring is independent . If that is what you mean baconline: |
Re: I Am Considering DIY: From SUV To Pickup by sultaan(m): 12:52am On Oct 09, 2021 |
baconline: Unfortunately the WJ is a unibody, and by cutting up the body, the structure is defective. Op was already hacking things up by the second post, it was game over by then. The thought of dual springs gives me shivers |
