Default 1998 cherokee duel sport build dd

It all started 2 years ago when i sold my 97 tj wanting a better dd and some a.c. purchased this 98 xj from my brother for 4grand with just over 100xxxmiles and balled tires and i wanted to make it a truck that i could go trail riding with ,pull my four wheelers boat go on the beach as well as a great dd and trip vehicle witch my tj was not so i needed a jeep that could do it all and my father and brother have had many xjs and zjs but i always liked the way the xjs looked and felt to drive well here is my never ending build thanks for putting up with my terrible spelling and punctuation and enjoy
