Eric's Book on TV

Was just watching the PowerBlock on Spike and during an Extreme4x4 commercial they were talking about booksthey have and they showed and picture of Eric's XJ Book. Just thought it was cool to see it on national TV.

It's hands down the best book on XJ's out there, and I highly recommend it to everyone!

Who is Eric, and what is his book (you really should have put this in the first post!)?

If you're at all interested in modding your XJ, get the book. Mine's getting dog-eared from reading it over and over. It is a great collection of tech ideas, all in one place. From there, if you wish, you can do more research on the mods. His approach to building a practicle truck is to be applauded!

excellent book!!

Wow this was news to me! Thanks for posting up. I watch Powerblock sometimes but didn't watch it this week.

The book is titled "High-Performance Jeep Cherokee XJ Builder's Guide 1984-2001". Its getting great reviews, and I really appreciate those reviews and opinions from you guys. Its one thing to see a commercial, but it means so much more to hear what readers (fellow XJ owners) have to say about it.

Anyone that doesn't have it yet or whoever is curious can just click the link in my sig to read about the book.

It's awsome you've been able to turn your passion into something that can help others. I know exactly how you feel, and it is GREAT!
