DRocK2000XJ

In July 2011 I bought my first car, if you know me it isn't a surprise it was a 2000 Cherokee Sport. I have spent useless hours at work scrolling through everything from engine upgrades to lifts to armor and so on. After joining this amazing forum, I figured out how I will being my XJ build (FINALLY). Now I have not bought anything yet but I do have the money, just waiting for spring and warmer weather. I am going to post some pics of how she looks now and the list of parts I plan on using. Please do not hesitate to make suggestions or tweaks to my list but it doesn't mean I will change my mind (I might if it sounds good or is cheap enough!).

Theme:

ZDV - Zombie Defense Vehicle
Back story is that I have a good spot to go when the zombie apocalypse comes.
Hint it is in VT.

Build materials: (BOLD is installed)

-OME rear leafs 2.5" (CS035RA)
-ACDelco rear leaf bushings (45G15606 + 45G15608)
-Rocky Road front coil spacers 2" (JP7001)
-Monroe shocks (550016 + 550017)
-Daystar bump stops (KJ09114BK + KJ09122BK)
-Rukse 1" transfer case drop case kit (RK4010) Changed my mind. (see next line)
-Rusty's TC Crossmember 1" Drop (RA-CM200-XJ) but no clearance loss
(Thanks George's Limited XJ for the idea)
-Hella 500FF Series driving lamp kit (5750941)
-C4x4 tow hook brackets and hooks
-Hankook Dynapro ATM RF10 30/9.50R15 (2001369)
-General Grabbers A2 245/75R16 (came with the MOABs)

Tools:

-Hi Lift Jack 48" (XT485)
-Fiskars Super Splitting Axe 36" (7884) - for killing zombies when I run out of bullets!

OK that will satisfy me for starters and get me out there to go wheeling!



Thoughts and suggestions GO!

Thanks again Tom.

Keep an eye on your coolant level. I'm sure you've already read about the 2000-2001 0331 head crack. Ordering my Clearwater head next Friday. Looks like a good start though!
