Junior 2000 XJ Build- My first XJ build
I am going to start my build/rebuild now I have been at it a couple months.
I call my XJ Jr. because I have 3 Jeeps. A new Grand, an 07 Commander, and
Jr., my 2000 Cherokee. Jr. is the smallest of the 3.
2000 Cherokee
4L 4X4
Amethyst
Stock
So far:
New stock tires
New stock exhaust
Rockers to install
Sideplates to install
Just finished longest pump/thermostat/hose replacement. 2 months!
But now I have heat. Slow start, but it is started.

I intended to use it as a daily street driver when I had the exhaust system
installed. Same with tires, I used a more aggressive tread but stock size.
I fixed an oil leak at the same time. Someone left a nut loose on the
valve cover.

I bought a Dewalt 1/4" coredless impact driver. It works well in small
places. I got some stubby bits from (Amazon) but they broke quickly.
I bought Dewalt bits at Lowes. They were shorter and worked well.
I used 2 hydraulic jacks to hold the rails in place while I drilled the holes
and used vice grips to pull the tabs together.
I bought the rails new and powder coated from someone local. I dont recall
the manufacturer. The fitment wasn't great but worked.

Well I have the cigar lighter working now. The receiver was rusty.
The washer makes a noise in back. Wiper motor doesn't work yet.
So I am making progress.
The power outlet on the right already worked.
My CB goes in next and I am going to use the blank for the fog lights.
I think I will change it to a USB port.
The rear defroster button trips the relay.The washer makes a noise in back. Wiper motor doesn't work yet.
