88whitecomanche's 98 cherokee build
What's going on guys
Small intro...my name is Walt I'm from miami, fl
This is my second jeep...my first is a 88 comanche...
So I had a 99gmc Sonoma and ended up trading it for a hunter green 98 jeep cherokee sport 4.0 aw4 4x4 4door...great truck, body is in great shape, interior is in fair shape except the headliner that has to be redone...here's some pics

New radiator and valve cover gasket upgrade
Quick update
So the next day I drive the truck around for a good 20-30 miles I get a bunch of white smoke coming out of the hood...first thought I hope I just didn't trade for a p.o.s...opened up the hood and found out that the original radiator finally gave out...so bought one at the local radiator shop for $55 bucks...no pics of the install.
So a week later I finally got around to doing the valve cover gasket upgrade....I've done this on my 4cyl comanche and no lie I was very concerned considering that the truck has 161k miles and no info on the service history on it...enough talking more pics
Valves look clean lol
Also here's a pic of my comanche if you guys have seen me driving around in southflorida

What's up guys
Not a crazy update just that my water pump went out when the truck was idling....so $24 later got a new water pump, thermostat, and did a transmission oil change well the first step of it....3.5 quarts now and 3.5 later until the fluid turns red...but the oil doesn't smell burnt so that's a good sign...

I finally got my saggin headliner redone...4 hours and 2 people I think we did a pretty good job....hardest part is uninstalling/ installing the interior panel pcs
Looks good...wish I could've gotten one with a design but the black will do plus it coordinates with the rest if the black/ spice interior
