Hi everyone.

I just wanted to introduce myself. I'm a newbie to the Jeeping community. Just recently purchased a 1996 Cherokee Classic. It had half of a 4" lift installed on it, and a transfer case with blown seals and bearings.

Since I purchased it last weekend, I have torn the TC out of it, found out that it had been run dry and the chain was really stretched and that the shift fork was really ground down. I purchased a master rebuild kit, chain, shift fork, and also found out that I needed an SYE kit with a new driveshaft on Cherokees with 4" lifts ... So, that's about where I am so far--Just waiting on the mailman!

Nice to meet y'all, hoping I can learn a lot!

Welcome to the forum. The tires look mean. What are they?

these are the 31" Super Swamper TSL's. They looks pretty new - don't think they have seen much time on the road.

Thanks for the welcome! I have some rust issues to fix and some suspension problems to diagnose, but I am having a lot of fun so far!

Rust in Texas?
Stop it, it only rains oil doesn't it..........well on the tv anyway.

HA! This jeep came down from the mountains (as the story goes...) it even has a factory block heater in it!

I guess it was someone's winter vehicle up in Colorado, the drivers floor pan and the rockers are suffering because of it!
