Well I finally have some sort of an update. I finally got myself some 265/75/16 Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs to put on my Mickeys. Here is the only pic I have so far. I still need to cut my fenders, paint my bumper and probably get 4" coils in the front since it sits lower than the rear.

Finally got some newish pictures of the Jeep. Took these a couple weeks ago at my relatives ranch. The first one is my favorite

Thanks! haha. Yea I still need to cut my fenders. I don't really have a good location to do it at the moment and its been way too cold also.

I ordered some new parts for this past week. I ordered some IPF H4 lenses and Hella bulbs for the H4 upgrade so far. I still haven't decided on what I am going to do for the wiring harness yet. I also ordered some LED's for the interior from one way light. Also put in an order to Iron rock off road for some 4" coils for the front and a steering box spacer. So far all I have received is my lights. I am probably going to install them without the wiring upgrade for now. I am going back and forth between making my own or just buying the ARB one. It gets very cold here during the winter so I don't want to risk the cheap harnesses not working well when its 25 below.

Got my led's in the mail from one way light. I am about to go install them. Will post pictures when I am finished.

I installed some new parts today. A few weeks ago I was having battery issues due to bad terminals. I replaced those but I also decided to just get a new battery and hold down since mine was broken. The winters here in North Dakota can get to as cold as -40. A good battery is a must. I splurged a bit and got myself an Odyssey Extreme PC1500 as well as a JCR Battery tray. Also here are some pics of the LED's that I installed a few weeks ago. Sorry the pictures are terrible. The LED's were definitely worth it.

Nice build so far! I happen to live in ND and I am currently building me a 89. You should join Nodak Jeeps group on Facebook to see when peeps are getting together to wheel.

Thanks! And awesome! Glad I'm not the only person from ND on here. I actually just joined that group like two days ago haha. Another cherokee owner from my school told me about it. I really need to find somewhere to go wheeling in this state. GF is way too flat.

Ya Grand Forks is to flat for my tastes and I've lived in ND my entire life! I do know there are off-roading parks in Minnesota that are old mines and stuff. They should be like a 3-6 hr drive for you. Also Look up cliffhangers their having a yearly get together called the rendezvous that I will be attending and it's open to nonmembers. The only real off-roading open to the public that I'm aware of is the desert south of Bismarck.

X2 on the fender trim. Still need to do mine as well but finding the time to do it is an issue at the moment. I'm wanting to do the caps as well.

nodakxj

I agree. Grand Forks is way too flat haha. I have been looking into going to Appleton or Gilbert to do some wheeling this summer. I am out near Bismarck ever couple months so I will need to take a trip out to this desert that everyone talks about. Ill look up cliffhangers and check on some more info for that rendezvous.

Yea the weather here is jut starting to get nice. No reason to be out side trimming them up when its super cold outside. I think its best to wait until you can take the time to do it right.

Found a small trail a couple days ago but it was raining too much and I didn't want to risk getting stuck in the mud out there by myself. Took a trip back over there this morning with a buddy. Just a quick pic I snapped after.

Project for this weekend. I am going to be driving home to California next week and I wanted to get myself a CB with weather channels. Ended up getting a used Uniden PC68ltw. Hopefully it works out well. Also got myself an ARB headlight harness for the H4's that I have. I know the ARB's are expensive but I didn't want to mess around with the cheap ones and I didn't want to mess around with making my own either.
