I haven't made a post on cl for lights yet (I know who you're talking about, wouldn't buy those) but would be more than willing to help you with led's!

The cherokee is good, I was surprised at the quality of the paint and the interior is just about perfect, but I did have to flush the radiator and blow out the heater core, new belt, new alternator. Also the exhaust isn't in great shape, thankfully it's stock and I plan to upgrade it anyway. I had to reconnect the rack lights but that took about 1 minute. Also I threw my stereo, subs and amps in it, and it already had the wires run so I basically just had to plug it all in. Plus I had an old wiring harness for a pioneer stereo and a jeep so it was too easy 
Also, it turns out the motor is a straight swap from an '02 Wrangler, so it has about 80 more HP, granted with the tires I don't think you really see the difference much. The transmission was rebuilt and only has 80k on it since rebuild, and that wrangler motor has 60k original miles on it. All in all it seems a pretty good buy, I talked him down from 4k to 3.4k

Yeah man I hear you. This thing has basically all the mods I would do myself already done, minus the extras I plan on doing. New bumper, LED light bar and or fog lights, and I REALLY like the idea of putting the ceiling console from a grand cherokee in it. I REALLY want a thermometer and compass in the vehicle
