I just wanted to say hello as I see quite a few folks from Northern Colorado seem to be pretty active on here (some that even go to Andersen's regularly like us)! I'm not new to Mopar, but this is my first time working on a Jeep. Last summer the girlfriend and I picked up a 1998 XJ SE 2-door, 4L, 5-speed, 4x in Cheyenne for peanuts. It needed a head gasket, new PS pump/gearbox, and a yoke for the rear end.
We finally got it all buttoned up (this is her project vehicle) and running yesterday. Although not very pretty externally (lots of character dents, hail damage, etc) the interior is very clean and it should prove to be a reliable rig once we finish sorting it out. She'll primarily use it for hauling dogs, winter months, and possibly some light 4-wheeling.
She doesn't plan to do much, just a 3" lift and some 31" tires on a nice set of Icons that we picked up recently. When we bought it it came with a matched set of tires, but mismatched wheels; Gamblers on the passenger side and steelies on the driver side -- although it came with 2 more of each wheel.
Anyhow, I just wanted to say a quick hello and introduce myself.
