Smile Finally got it together W/ Pics

I finally completed my Cherokee project.... I wish I had taken pics along the way, but here a just a few of the completed (for now) project.
It is a 98 Limited and in this major upgrade session, I did the following:
4.5 RC lift with spring packs
.75 RC spacers
RC rock sliders
RC nitro shocks (going to have to go a little shorter in the rear)
All new MOOG front end parts with bearings and ball joints
All new U joints throughout
8.8 rear axle
All new brake calipers, parts, rotors, etc...
Optima Battery
Front receiver
10,000lb winch
JVC HD radio
All new plugs, wires, rotor, etc.
All Fluids changed to Amsoil
4.11 gears
RC rear wheel adapters
Mastercraft 265.75.16 tires
RC control arm drop brackets
RC front diff cover
SYE
Heavy duty tie rod
Bar pin eliminators (RC)

I am a happy man.

Looks Clean. I would have went with a whole bumper but the cost can seriously change ones mind. Looks great though!
