Well, it's still a 100" WB like the XJ Cherokee (which is 100.5" IIRC), 
same as a SII.

Should be able to add the second 10gal tank easily enough.

John Comer / GryphinRacing.com offers a nice electric wiper kit for 
$250, and the glovebox still works fine, and they always work.

The only issue I have with them, is now my wife wants her windshield 
squirters to work, too.. seems she's never satisfied.. first it was 
"There's no heat!".. then "My wipers don't work".. now it's "Why don't 
the squirters work?".. sheesh..
