High-Performance Jeep Cherokee XJ Builder's Guide 1984-2001

Click here for content updates!	I've written this book with the beginner in mind, to show how to turn your stock XJ into a highly capable off-road machine. It will explain what the basics are and progress to some of the more advanced modifications. It will show you how to build it right, answering all your questions that everyone has: from tire fitment, to gear ratios, to axle swaps. Even if you already have a built XJ, you will want this book on your shelf to add to your cool XJ memorabilia and to serve as a helpful reference tool. This is truly a book that every XJ owner should own! It is 144 pages with over 300 color photos. It includes several special features of built XJs (and one MJ) that will give you some additional ideas of what some other guys have done with their build-ups. Published by CarTech, Inc.

This book has answered a majority of my questions and is uber helpful with stock specifications. Great pics, great layout, and awesome story line behind the making of the book. Anyone that owns an XJ should have this book as it is a piece of history in the making. I have XJ books from places around the world and they are usually off on something or another, but not Eric's book. Great job and keep up the good work- I'm looking forward to Volume 2 if it is even in the works!!! (Coullt) I just received it and it was everything I hoped it was. It has already answered a question that was bothering me. I purchased it from Jeg's and got it in only a week. (buffalo) I just got my copy in the mail and could barely put it down. Very good read!!!! (OBXJ) I just received my copy yesterday and I can't put it down. I have a RE 3.5 lift on order and I'm really gaining a lot of knowledge about my XJ.. It's a great book for a novice jeep owner like myself... I always see words like SYE and non disco in the jeep forums and had no clue what they meant or which rear the truck had,, but I can find all that info right here in this XJ bible... (David Bacon) I just wanted to say amazing book I just got it and so far i think it is very informative and its hard to put it down. 120% satisfied with your book. Definetly recomended to other xj buddies. (Ian) Eric, I just received a copy of your new book and it is awesome. Congratulations on putting together a book that is so needed by us XJ owners. The only bad part is I have plans now for my next build phase going from 31's to 35's in November - oh boy I can't wait. Anyways I just wanted to let you know what a great job you did with the book. (Stephan Haisley) We just got a small shipment of them today. Hopefully we will have them loaded in the system and up on our site for sale in the next few days. I have been glancing at it some today(even though I should be working) and am really impressed. I would reccomend it to anyone with an XJ - even if you aren't a novice. So far it seems to be a nice mix of small things and goes into some of the more difficult stuff as well. It makes for good refference material. I'll probably buy it (if I can't work a deal on this one ) Congratulations Eric! (Jason Rice at JEGS)
