Hey guys. I'm new here and just thought I'd say hi first of all. I just got my first car (an '86 XJ of course ) and am absolutely thrilled. I keep getting caught daydreaming in class and designing safari racks haha. Yes I'm only 16 but I'm a proud XJ owner and I know a thing or two about jeeps. I also know how to turn a wrench lol.
But enough about me, I wanna know what you guys think I should do with my XJ. I'd like to get some ideas on what I should buy and how I should go about building it up. Right now it's basically stock. It's a 1986 Cherokee Laredo with the offroad package and the 4-cylinder.
What should I buy? What should I buy first that will be good quality but will fit a teenagers budget (so nothing too expensive like air lockers or something lol. that'll come eventually)? I'm planning on getting tires and a lift first. Is that a good idea? Also, what brands should I look for or stay away from? I'm building a roof rack and bumpers with my older brother who's also a jeeper so I won't be buying those.
Thanks in advance!
