Is the shifter/lever thibg in the center the only way to tell?

The rear diff has 12 bolts on the QD-II, the rest have 10 bolts.

There is a pretty good thread over on JeepForum about what to look for on the WK/XK platforms when considering buying. http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f67/buying-wk-xk-read-1458434/

Thanks. I'll have to check it out. I know it has a bad nav screen so I'll have to put in an aftermarket unit. It's got 130k miles, original owner, new radiator, water pump, and all service done at dealer with new tires for 5500

What lift are you looking at? I DD an 07' GC and would like to put a small lift and a little bit bigger tires on it. Just curious what your thinking about for modding the 01'.

I'm going with Clayton offroad. It's a little pricey but it's the best kit on the market.
Also gonna be running 35s.

I'm thinking 33's. I can swap the Duratracs on my Wrangler when I get the 35's for it. I'll have to take a look at Clayton offroad.

I don't think clayton offers anything for your jeep honestly since it's ifs. I'd look into old man emu for your jeep.

Question for you Grand Cherokee guys. What are you doing with your spares? I am wanting a rear bumper and tire carrier but with wanting to keep our rigs as light as possible I am worried about the weight.

BTW here's my basically stock 99 that is getting built up. Only has 170k on the clock.

@Alex_Kulbaka hey! The duratracs are 265 70R17. I'm on the road with them a lot everyday due to work, so I didn't really want to go too big. I'm not lifted. I absolutely love them and haven't failed me in the winters here or mud.

Been using Dura Tracs for many years...they are awesome!!!

 

[Wildland Outdoors]

I had Duratracs on my Tahoe before I sold it and they worked great. The Goodyear Silent Armors on my Jeep have never failed me either.

I kept the spare in the stock location on my WK. Though, that was underneath...

If you're looking to install a drawer system, maybe it could be put on hinges of some kind so that it could lift (or slide) to allow you access to your spare?

I ran the spare on the roof of my XK for a while, now it's on the bumper.

I have seen tire swing out carriers that don't require the replacement of the bumper. so that may be an option.

Hkoffroad.com is currently working on a rear hatch mounted design. Should be pretty cool if it passes their testing stages.

That would be interesting. Wonder how bad its gonna effect the hatch usage

 

[timberwolf_120]

They are putting 350lb force struts on each side (so 700 total lbs of force where as stock is 150 I think he said). Right now without the tire and steel he has to slam the gate by jumping up and using his full weight to bring it down. *should be easier once all the steel and the spare tire is added to it. I'm pretty interested in the idea. And he makes a kick ass front hidden winch bumper that sticks out less then a stock bumper.

Seen the bumper. Would like to see the brush guard they are making for it. Would love to see the hatch carrier too! Sounds like a cool way to save some weight.

 

[timberwolf_120]

Yea most defintly.

I built a swing out tire carrier, the mounts hide under the stock rear plastic shell. I had never welded before I started this project. The swing gate holds my tire, the license plate, license plate light, two rear auxiliary lights and a fold down table that will hold my camp stove.
