Yo whatsup jeeps
I traded my 95 nissan pathfinder for this 90 jeep cherokee. It had about 105 thousand miles on it which i guess isn't that bad for a 90. I got this jeep the summer of 2009 and have been building it up ever since.
This whole project would not be possible without my father. He has the resources and budget to keep this build going. He fell in love with my jeep and actually went out and bought his own 1990 jeep cherokee. So now we are working on two jeeps out of our garage.

So here is what I started with

It had a 4.5 lift with close to bald, 33 inch super swampers. We fixed some alignment issues and a few exhaust leaks. We changed out the shocks cause 1 was over extended and 1 was bent. Fixed a few rusty spots and replaced the radiator.
Got it roadworthy and inspected.

Whats a jeep without some custom steel bumpers? So we got to work on welding up a front and rear bumper.

Here is the rear bumper and I was playing around with a few colors for a new paint job.

I decided to go with a desert tan so i'll blend in with the south jersey sand and mud.

Soooooooo
After the paint job, which turned out better than expected, I ordered some bushwacker flares and a snorkel. I decided to get a snorkel because of wharton state forest, the trails i usually ride. There has been plenty of times that i've drove my old pathfinder through puddles after a good rain and water has rushed over the hood so I figured a snorkel would be a good investment.

So heres a picture of the jeep with the paint, flares, snorkel, and custom front bumper.

rear shot


I noticed my sway bay disconnects had never been upgraded with the lift so I switched mine out with the ones in my dads jeep. I use my jeep as a DD and my father uses his as a WW so he let me steal his for the time being.
I always bust his ***** because he bought his jeep with a ton of mods already installed. Everything on his jeep is aftermarket. Thats the easy way to get an off road jeep. His jeep is the dark blue one on the right in that last picture.
