I have a 97 Cherokee that i purchased last June. I finally got a 3" zone lift with full leafs and Nitro Shocks. I also purchased IRO Double Shear track bar for it. I had some trouble this weekend with the rear bolts being rusted on but got it all done. It has 31" BFG Mud Terrain KM 2's
It is a little rough riding but I expected that! Overall the jeep turned out well and I am excited to get it out on the trails in a couple weeks.

Looks great man! Great to hear you got it all wrapped up. Now what's next?

Thanks man! Well coming soon will be a Tcase drop. It has a slight vibration at round 35 mpg. But after that I plan on trimming the bumpers a little and this spring/summer I will be going for either rock sliders or tcase armor. Just kind of depends on the funds those could all be awhile!
I have lots of plans but not much money! lol

Heard that brotha! It wouldn't be as much fun if we all had the money to do an entire build at once.

Looks at good stance, nice! Well those mods and rock sliders should come so you can test and have fun on summer.

id take all the vibration in the world if I got 35MPG.

Haha ya 35 MPG would be great wouldn't it! I will learn to type one of these days!

Thanks man! I love how it looks! I will stay have some fun without those but have to be a little more careful.

I got to take it out for the first time this weekend! It was a blast and I am hooked! I was really impressed how well it did even with the bad weather!

Oh yeah. Xj on 31s and 3in is a really capable setup. That was my first jeep. If I might suggest your next upgrade should be rock sliders with the side rails. Once you hit tighter trails you would be amazed how much they help protect your sides and underneath. They also slight you over stuff that normally caves your rocker panel in and gets you hung up. Been there done that. And at least one locker and you are set. Probably better then most bigger rigs you encounter. Looks good

Nine look'n XJ man and I see your putting that lift to good use!

Very nice! Clean XJ all around. How do the BFG's handle in the snow?

My first xj was a white 97 sport just like yours except stock ride. Looks at home on the trail! Good looking rig!

Ya the other jeep with me has those and they got used a couple times on that trip. I was lucky that I didn't drag at all. I would say my next purchase will be either rock sliders or transfer case skid plate. I was really amazed with some of the rocks we went over that I didn't hit at all on the bottom. I know I won't be that lucky every time though.
