That Jeep Guy XJMJ

This is my 1996 jeep cherokee
it has a 4.5" Rough Country lift kit 4.5" front 5" rear
its got the standard Dana 30 up front and a swapped in Dana 44 LSD in the rear (3.55 gears though only payed $90 for it)
safari roof rack
4 hella 500's on roof
set of Goodyear Wrangler MTR's 32/11.5/R15
fullsize spare
cobra CB with full length whip antenna
high lift jack/shovel/axe/gas can/water can/ and a full recovery towing bag complete with 2 30' 3" wide straps, 2 axle wrap straps 2 d-rings, one d-ring hitch attatchment, jumpers and some other etc's
reverse fog lights and turn signals mounted to the rack
wasn't long after getting it home that i started installing some parts and accesories i had for it from a previous jeep


i picked it up a year ago from a kid named ?"tad"? from Greenville he was a part of A&E offroad apparently........

brought it home and had a lot of work to do
everything on it that corresponds to the lift was lose.. (control arm bolts, leaf spring bolts, crossmember bolts... etc etc literally everything)
fixed and tightened it all
swapped in a newer tranny (old one was iffy)
swapped in a newer SOLID exhaust manifold with no leaks
re-lifted the rear end
swapped in newer seats (from a 98 cherokee)
added some sound to the stereo
threw in my cobra CB

thanks giving morning though, my rear axle wheel bearing failed and left me crawling home


after $320 in parts (2 brand new shafts and a new set of brake components)
i have it back on the trails

also added a swapped in hood with functional hood vents and hood clips

have plans in the future for possibly a Dana 44 narrow front axle and long arm setup.... maybe a roll-cage and deffinitely some bigger gears..

let me know how this thing looks people, i adore the snot out of my rig just like many other people and hearing people thoughts and opinions on it is always a + for me.. like it or not

I'm digging your bumper sticker (not the "UP" one...), lol, mostly cause I can actually claim that, haha!
