First jeep I have ever owned myself
My dad had an XJ a few years ago and then sold it for a wrangler
I prefer cherokees over anything else seeing I just sold my 95 Nissan 4x4 for this jeep


edit:
just used some of the mothers back to black stuff, worked pretty good

Well I forgot about this thread. I threw together a 2-3in lift for it. Still need to put the shocks on and going to fab up some radius arms for it this summer. Currently trying to find a hp44 for the front. Getting ready to pull the trigger on some 33x12.5s as well.
Also installed a header and some other random junk. Ill post pictures when I get on my laptop
