New to this forum and new to Cherokees, but not new to Jeeps. Backstory: had a lightly built 2005 Tj that sadly ended up on its lid, I'll post some pictures.. Insurance check came in and decided to build a cherokee this time. Picked up a cherry little '96 sport 2dr for a steal of a price. Bone stock, 4.0, AX-15, 231 Tcase and a 2 door, which I've always been a fan of. The only downside is the D35 rear, but that'll be changed out in short order. ON TO THE PICS! My old Tj.. 
The new (to me) Xj.. 
I'll try and update as often as possible, but work and life always come in the way.. Stay tuned!

UPDATE! Lift is here, time to get things rolling. I'll more than likely start tearing into her on Sunday evening and hopefully have her buttoned back up by Monday night. Tuesday I plan on cutting fenders and whatever "massaging" the inner fenders may need for clearance at full stuff.
^ Heap of parts, the full leafs are already in the garage, so no picture of them. Still waiting on the rear driveshaft, and a few other things like black lug nuts and wheel locks in the mail. Hopefully they all arrive by Tuesday. If not, I'll drive her with no rear shaft in 4H to work on Wednesday!

Should be starting on the lift on Sunday evening.. Until then, I'll try to keep some things happening to peak some interest.
