A 16 Year olds Dream Build
Well my names Jake, Im from Illinois. Ever since I was about 12 I found jeepforum.com and cherokeeforum.com and I've literally scene every build on these websites. Every since I found this website I've always wanted a Jeep cherokee. Really I needed a jeep cherokee for their offroad capability. My dad owns hunting property and the only way to get to the cabin is to go through a mud drenched mile long road. Only way in is a 4x4 jacked up truck or my dualy international tractor. So finally after searching Craigslist I found a 1999 Jeep Cherokee sport 4x4. It was in great condition with 143k on it. This is it when I first brought it home.

SeXy. https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net...19613241_n.jpg And then I bought some clear markers. https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net...23724752_n.jpg Painted that faded trim, bumper, and added a metal mulisha decal. https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net...28898236_n.jpg Then I thought I was done with it since it looked so good. Well thats about to change. Ordered some 3" Coil spacers, 3" blocks and 31" BFG Mud Terrain Km2's. OOOOOOOO Cant wait till everything gets here. I know, I know. ****ty lift, gonna be horrible. Its just for the meantime until I can get money for Full leaf packs, new coils, and shocks. Really I'm going to go buy the shocks next week but everything else is gonna have to wait. Working at a sporting good store making minimum wage doesn't feed the jeep upgrades. Just a **** load of gas. 14 mpg blahh. |
very exciting!
