More than I expected!
If you have a mid-sized Jeep Cherokee, you NEED this book, especially if you plan to drive it off-road or plan to modify it! The book is layed out in a logical order and is surprisingly thorough! The pictures are very detailed and there are more of them than I expected. Where Eric got some of the things he has pictured here, I do not know. I'd go so far as to say that if you have a question about any modification or what mods would be appropriate for your driving style, this book will likely have what you need to know before you start. EVEN which models, by year of production, may be appropriate for what you want to do. I was impressed also by the technical things, what to avoid, how to repair, pro's and cons of many mods, manufacturer recommendations, and tips for the install of the components that may otherwise be overlooked by the manufacturer's directions.
Overall, I'm impressed with my copy and I would certainly recommend it to anyone who is even curious about these tough little vehicles.
P.S.
No, I'm not done with mine, and NO, you can't borrow it.
You need one for yourself! This Amazon deal is the best I've seen for this book. Buy one today!
Want to customize your XJ? Read this first.
Other reviews have already said it better. But this really is the must-buy guide for anyone interested in customizing a Jeep Cherokee XJ. Even if you are experienced with off-road customizations, you'll likely learn a thing or two from this book. The guide is broken down into several different sections each dedicated to a different system and what you might consider upgrading there. Sections include suspension, wheels and tires, steering and brakes, axles and gearing, transfer case, engine and transmission, body upgrades, and skid plates and recovery.
The book continues by highlighting several featured Cherokees and describing the various parts and upgrades that went into them, all with detailed color photos. I've already got several new ideas for my own XJ after reading this builder's guide, and have discovered several cost saving alternatives to my original customizing plan. Basically, this book paid for itself.
This guide is worth every penny. Buy it.
Jeep Cherokee XJ Classic
This is THE book to get for your Jeep Cherokee XJ. It's well written and extremely thorough. The project descriptions are carefully researched, and the book is crammed with color photos to make things as clear as possible. This isn't some fluff piece or magazine reprint, it's the single best resource of Jeep XJ data available. With this book and with average tools and average ability, you can do pretty much any of the modifications listed in the comfort of your garage or driveway, and there are tons of mods to do! If you want to improve your Jeep XJ, from mild to wild, start here.
