Im also looking into a Jeep 4.0 H(igh) O(utput) out of a Jeep Cherokee with FI and all..... Looking for one that is low miles but in bad shape, i want the motor and all the harness's, and my bro wants the trans and rear axle.....

I would try to find a wrangler 4.0 The serpentine belt routing is deffient between the wrangler and cherokee. The cherokee has an off set radiator fan where the wrangler has a fan right on the water pump. When we did my girlfriends swap we used a tj motor with the fan off her 4.2 motor and the used the fan shroud off the 4.2 as well. It fit perfectly. A cherokee you will eather have to use electric fans or swap pulleys to get the wrangler layout. The swap is very strait forward. Even though we did OBDII it only took about 6 wires to splice to get it to run and then maybe another 10-15 to get everything else buttoned up. Also make sure you get the 5 speed computer unless you plan on running the auto that came with the 4.0.
 






looks very sweet

I actually do like the look of the bigger rims, and that trim job would be sweet.
 






Fender, since yur so good with Photoshop and i jsut started learning, and i suck at it, you wanan do a PS for me? this summer im going to be repainting it, The body is gunna be silver, and the hard top will be black.... think you can do it? The silver is kinda a darker, metallic silver, jsut come up with sometihng, preferably the unchopped version :D

I like the front fenders trimmed like that, ide do it if i could make it look that good, but ide only comp cut the rear if i could afford to move the axle back, which require extended DS, new gas tank setup, and alotta little ****... ill wait till i swap out axles....
 


















Wow.....that looks really good. It think if you painted the grill black also it would complement the soon to be new paint on the hard top nicely.
 












That looks bad ass!
 






Yea Josh, i thought bout it, but its lot easier to clean bugs off a stainless grill overlay, than et them off the paint of the grill.... But i am thinking bout switichign all myother stainless hardware(hinges, etc) to black....

Thanks for the PS Fenderguy
 






so how my tires workin out for ya, i may have that bumper installed soon, and im still goin ahead with teh 12 lift and fullsize axles even after the front axle rolled ;)
 






Looks hardcore dude.
