I've had this posted over in the Sierra Chapter, but I think its time to bring this over here.
So I got this 96 Jeep Cherokee Sport for $2000 w/112,000 miles. It was in immaculate condition. Paint is (was) perfect, and interior is almost spotless. It has a 8.25, D30, AX-15, NP231, 4.0 I6. Has a slight miss at idle but runs strong. This XJ is my first car and will be my daily driver and weekend wheeler.
Here I will be keeping track of all that I have done, and all that will be done in the future. All tips, comments, jokes etc are welcome!
I couldn't wait to wheel, so just a few days after I got it, we headed up to our cabin at Lake Alpine and hit up Slick Rock. Got about half way through and then chickened out.
When I got home, I bought a Rough Country 4.5" full leaf kit, and riced it up a bit with some red walmart paint.
Drag XJ
Lift Complete
Wired in an electric semi horn. Had some fun scaring people with this
Then I made some rock sliders, installed a Warn T-case skid, RC Front diff skid, changed all the fluids, threw on some 31's on Black steelies, and took her to Hollister.
Poser shot FTW

And how it got its name
