Hello fellow Cherokee enthusiast! Welcome to my built!

After 3 weeks of searching and over 10 XJs inspected I finally found the one for me. I paid 5000$ tax in for a 2000 silver cherokee sport with only 100,000km and no rust. It also came with a 1-2"BB (not sure) and cheapo kelly m+s tires. The only repair that needed to be done was a new water pump.

I am a student living away from home and my jeep, so don't be surprised if this is a slow build.

First day I got her:





First big purchase for the jeep, luckily I was working for Best buy at the time so I got a good deal:




Summer is right around the corner so here is my mod list for now:

4.5" X-series RC lift with drop brackets
32" BFG KM2s
15x8 Random d-windows(not sure what company yet)
JCR stage 3 front and rear bumpers
JCR 1/4 panel armor
flowmaster muffler
HID kit

and more to come

Finally!! A build thread

MTLXJ

haha I know. I didn't want to make one then not update it for 8 months.

Bimmer_2002

LOL!!

Got her dirty this weekend! Didn't get stuck and nothing broke(Guess I didn't wheel hard enough haha)







Also filed my tax return, I'm getting getting less than expected so now I can't get my lift until I get a summer job BOOOO! Luckily I got a job interview this saturday with a fence and deck building company. Hopefully I get hired!

I have that same XJ sticker in the same spot on my jeep.

Bimmer_2002

Well, that sucks for the taxes return, but nice to see you got it dirty. Where did you wheel it??

MTLXJ

I actually made a mistake with my taxes ill be getting a lot more than expected haha project lift the jeep is a GO! I have a small trail next to my house and in a park near the water in ile bizzard.

Bimmer_2002

A trail huh??? You have to show me.....And I think I know where that "park" is. It's the "descente de bateaux" right?

Cool about your taxes!!

MTLXJ

Ya its an old farmers field, but I think its illegal to wheel in. Ya that the one have you been there before? Any good trails? I just played in a mud hole haha.

Bimmer_2002

I've been to the "descente" many times, it gets boring after like 5-10 minutes. You can't go on the grass because it's a government park (property) now. So, if you get stuck or damage anything and the public security sees you, you are ****ed!! A friend of mine learned it the hard way a couple of years ago. I usually just go on the beach and drive back and forth for a bit until I'm muddy to my liking

Very clean XJ! good start!!

MTLXJ

haha Oops I went on the grass , but have you gone on the trails on the sides? They look pretty crazy I was scared to get stuck(No tow points).
