Bought the Jeep bone stock in 2014 with the intentions of building a mild wheeler/ daily driver. Never planned on going bigger than 3'' and 31s. Drove it 1300 miles to Moab in fall of 2015 and its all been downhill since then. Bought a welder and started building stuff, I do all the wrenching, fabrication/welding myself in my garage, no shop has ever laid hands on this thing. Its more of a trail rig now but I still daily it 90% of the time. Little bit about the Jeep Dana 30/Chrysler 8.25 both trussed and locked Rear disk conversion RE 5.5 coils and leafs Boostwerks comp shackles HD no lift brackets IRO 3 link IRO track bar Bilstein 5100s in the rear with custom shock hoops Cavfab steering TMI diy beadlocks 35" Mickey Thompson mtz Homemade cut n fold rear bumper Homemade hidden winch front bumper Full belly pan with trans and oil skids Homemade Hybrid cage Tube doors 2x6 rockers HD offroad stiffeners front to back https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.che...0cd70e3b48.jpg |

Here is my 01 Sport. Picked this up a little over a year ago for use as a daily while building it up into an overland/mild-moderate trail rig. It is mostly straight because it hasn't seen nearly enough trails, I'll be working on that this summer leading up to my honeymoon trip down the the KAT this fall. Otherwise, Indiana winters have taken their toll on the sheet metal.

hi yall,
well thanks to 88whitecomanche, i have gotten as far as i am today. Even though i moved from Miami, FL over 3 years ago. This is my 1988 Jeep ( what you can tell by looking around) - Manual tans. which i believe is an AX-15 - Dana 30 for the front - Dana 35 for the rear - (5) Mickey Thompson 33" on some kind of brand 15" rims - Smittybilt Roof rack - SYE kit - Rear Bumper with Tire Carrier ( do not remember what brand) - Front bumper with 2 boat D-rings ( do not remember the brand either) - Window visors - Lund Sunvisor - 6.5 inch lift - bushwacker fender flares - and more.... |
Might as well! My XJ is currently stock, but I'm stockpiling/bolting on parts to make it a long-lasting daily driver/exploration/road trip machine capable of "surviving" year round use in upstate New York. It's currently rust free with the exception of the suspension, which will soon be replaced to create a sort of factory skunk works Cherokee - think of it as a soon to be Up Country 2.0.
That means less than 3 inches of lift total, 30 inch tires, 3.73 gears, and lockers. Being so low, I'll want to ensure it's protected as I will take it off road. Ruff Stuff diff covers would be ideal (cough cough, hint hint). As of this writing, I've undercoated the truck with Cosmoline (if it's good enough for the U.S. military, it's good enough for me), added in a class III hitch properly with JCR nut strips, and given it a slight tune up with Accel ignition parts. I have a bunch of other parts waiting to go on before I try to hit some dirt roads in Vermont on Memorial Day weekend. https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.che...07f8ecd1af.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.che...66ec2823fa.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.che...b40e95f7d5.jpg I learned a lot from my last build which was a never-ending four year project that spiraled out of control. This time around, I know exactly what the finished product should be, so I'm going to work until it's done and then enjoy it every day. |

Info: This is my 2000 XJ sport. 4.0/NP231/8.25 rear and D30 front.
Mods/Custom Stuff:
Other Info: 194k miles, original powertrain. Head is not cracked, she cheeches like a dream! No leaks, no check engine lights. This is daily driven, wanted to keep the mods tasteful, functional, and simple. I've had this jeep for about three years and bought it completely stock. Fell in love with it from the beginning!

https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.che...88a9dfbca1.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.che...521a352ed8.jpg So this is my 1998 cherokee I bought from my stepdad for 700$ when my last vehicle was stolen. He bought it new off the showroom. It was originally 2wd and I converted it to 4x4 with a donor vehicle and a lot of work. I've owned it for about 4 years now and its taken me from south florida to austin, tx a few times and has been a pretty great vehicle. Back in feb. it dropped a trans and recently got it back on the road. I haven't really been able to take it wheeling or anything because It's had some issues that I've been trying to work out to make it reliable. Such as the trans going out on it. She's basically a stock 4x4 now but my future plans for it are: 4.5'' lift sye 4.10 gears lockers bumpers upgraded steering fender flares new headliner new seats My previous xj had a 6.5'' lift and 35's and that was a bit much for what I want or need. We've owned this jeep since it was new so I don't plan on getting rid of it anytime soon. I hope to take it to jeep beach one day, and go on a good few road trips with it. See ya'll out there! |
Purchased stock in 2007 when I turned 18 and has been on the trails ever since; yet can still be Daily Driven.
