My modest little XJ

[XJ_Girl90]

Hello. My name is Brianna. I drive a 1990 Jeep Cherokee. It's my daily driver. So far it has held up really well in Hollister Hills and on the fire roads out in The Los Padres National Forest. I have had it since the end of 2011, but only recently I've been trying to do my own maintenance on it. I have had some help here and there. Doing my own work on it has been a blast for me, definitely a learning experience. I have some ideas of things that I'd like to do with it as time goes on.

Thank you for the welcome. Yeah I live very close to Hollister Hills. And Big Sir isn't that far away from me either. I need to got out to one of those places soon, now that I just replaced my back shocks.

Welcome!

Nope. It does look like the SC mountains. That picture and the others are all taken in the Los Padres National Forest. There's also a place in, I think, the Soquel mountains that looks similar to that as well.

Last Big Sur trip before the 3" lift


This is the view point. One of my favorite spots out there.

Then middle of March 2014 decided to put a little lift on it. At the time I knew nothing about lifts and suspension. Went with a Skyjacker 3" lift. Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures of us putting the lift on but it took two full days and a lot of grinding down rusted bolts. It was such a pain!

All of that was put on it.

Hollister Hills




This was taken in Hollister Hills right after my MSD box got wet. That was an experience in itself. I disconnected it after that. I didn't have the time for it to dry out so my friend towed me out. Good thing I live fairly close.

Your Jeep his is coming along and looks very trail worthy. Keep up the good work.I hope to see you on the trails soon

Last month I needed to replace the front calipers, brakes, and rotors. Someone had the idea to see what the jeep would look like if it had 35's on it. I really like the look but I'm not ready to change it up that much just yet.

This month I replaced the old rear skyjacker shocks with some new rough country ones. The old ones were toast after 2 years. Now I don't flinch when I go over bumps. I also replaced the valve cover gasket this weekend. Wasn't as fun as I thought it would be but it got done.
