Speedo fix
Vehicle in question is an 89 Cherokee Pioneer 4wd. 5spd, 4liter. Stock
everything. After ripping the sidewall out of a Goodyear RT/S today, I bought some slightly used (80-90% tread left) 30" Toyo open countries (studded) on a decent set of wheels for $100. These will hold me over untill I get a set of 30" BFG Mud terrain T/A's. The Open Countries fit snugly under the XJ w/o rubbing on the street. I won't be doing much (if any) trailing (or driving) untill after I install my 2" lift. Can the studs be removed? What steps do I need to take to correct the speedometer? Thanks, Carl |

Re: Speedo fix
The studs can be removed with a small screwdriver and pliers. Needle
nosed vise grips are my favorite for doing that. Once out, you cannot put them back in without a 'lot' of trouble. I now have 235's on my XJ which are almost 30" and my speedo is now right on according to many checks with my GPS. I recommend you check it before changing anything.
