I bought this 1990 Jeep Cherokee just over a year ago from an older rich guy. It belonged to his wife who passed away like 7 years ago and it's been garage kept ever since. He claimed the engine was rebuilt and only has about 30k on it now since I've bought it. The rest of the drive train has about 165k on it now. Power windows and door locks and the a/c works. The door locks are actually sticky and don't work that well. I tried cleaning them up with break cleaner and they worked GREAT for about a week then got all gummed up again. Any suggestions on this problem? It's a work in progress...very slow process. All I've done in the year that I've had it is strip all the molding off and added Grand Cherokee aluminum wheels. I just purchased my steel for the roof rack I'm about to start on. Anyone from this area feel free to hit me up! We can get together and do some wheelin!

I'll be posting some pics of the rack build soon! My wife is due for #3 any day now so it'll be a few weeks probably before I can start but I'll keep an eye on this!

This is from when I 1st bought the Jeep...notice all the trim and ugly aluminum wheels that I hated so much!


The other day I decided to go do some bumpy riding to try and induce the wife into labor. She'd have contractions when I hit the big stuff but no daughter yet. If you notice my kids hanging out the window they love it!!! BIG TIME off-road enthusiast. I pulled all the trim off and picked up these wheels from Pull-a-Part for about $15 each after I traded in my old ones.


Wish List (hopefully in this order):
1. complete roof rack and install KC lights
2. paint OD green
3. install front/rear bumpers (found some on EBay for a reasonable price...just need to fab a rear tire carrier)
4. 6 1/2 inch Rough Country long arm lift on 33 inch (maybe 35's with fender trimming) super swampers
5. stroke the 4.0 to a 4.6

Southwest louisiana here too! I'm still in the process of working on my recently purchased '88 limited. New motor, lift, tires, gears...the usual. As soon as its operational, i'd be up for some wheelin'.

Where you from? I'm in the Lafayette area! Trying to find some locals and maybe start a club or something. My family loves some off road action and we looking to get into camping so I'd like to try and find a place we can go. I've been to Duhon's mud hole and blown a transmission in a Z71 that I had...twice!!! I'd like to get into trail riding and stuff. I'm still working on my page so I should have my pics up soon. Holla back!!!
