ok if you could find a cherokee with decent miles and in good condition i.e everything still works; and you had an overall budget of 5,000$ including the cost of the vehicle. how wild do you think you could get it? post a parts list or just pics, i got a friend askin me this so if you guys can come upwith somethin good good we may have another awsome cherokee on the road/trail.

thanks guys.

 

hey, my jeep isnt for sale but i got it for only $5000, its mint, no rust, 4.5" lift, 30K on rebuilt motor transfercase and trany, and still only 155k on the body, all you have to do is keep looking and something will pop up

 

98 purchased for $ 3500, Another $2000 for lift, shocks, tires, wheels, new sway bar bushings, steering stabilizer, track bar relocating bracket. 138 K, damn near mint condition. You can probably make out cheaper lift, tire and wheel wise with a little creativity.

 

X2 patience is the key, I looked at alot of abused Cherokees before I found mine, also, if your friends got cash in hand, much better bargaining power, I got the guy selling mine to come down about $500 on dealer fees when I told him "I got the money right now".

 

hey post some pics of it bro.

 

yeah, i know what u guys mean as far as finding one but what im talkin about is getting one with long arms etc. he wants to get one and make it as off road worthy from the start, his focus is the off road part.

 

I chose to build mine from a grocery getter, I did'nt want to have to spend money correcting others cut corners.

 

yeah he has a car already n is thinkin about getting into this stuff

 

i have about$5500 in mine with full widths, 37's, two engines, three sets of coils cage, and way way more.....its all about finding good deals, being patient, and doing it all yourself!!

 

yeah i dont even have that much invested in mine and its pretty stout, but i think he is just uneasy about all of it since he has never even seen a jeep do this stuff before, to be honest he has been a WOW nerd for the past few years ya know.

Hypothetically the rest would be put into fabbing up some custom bumpers and trying to find a bargin on a winch new/used. But I'm going to hold on to what little money I have left!!
