Default My first Jeep!

Finally got an XJ. It's a 96 Cherokee Sport. 4wd, 4.0L HO, 4 Door.. They were asking $1,800 for it but I talked them down to $1,500. It's got a few problems but nothing I cant handle.

The front and back bumpers are dented in due to a pileup, the center console lid is broken, the rear gate won't open due to the rear bumper, someone broke in and stole the radio but I don't have to worry about no music because when I turn on my heater it sounds like an injured chewbacca is trying to scratch it's way out of the dash...

Other than that, it looks and drives great. I'm looking forward to fixing it up.

Its a good start!
buy or build your own front bumper, straighten the rear one out. Go down to walmart and buy a new $80 pioneer or sony radio, and get a new blower motor and she will be fine. Oh and a lift kit too would be cool!

I'm glad you finally found your XJ. Looks pretty straight.

Now get busy!!!
