1998 Classic Build Thread (Pics Intensive)
About 2 months ago i sold my 91 cherokee 2 door sport and went out and bought a 1998 Cherokee classic 4.0 automatic with 242 transfercase and 127k miles, Jeep is in great condition. I have a lot of plans for it but as i go i will just post up pictures.....
Right now it has some type of 4in lift with 31" tires but hate how it rides and looks, just not what i am looking for. So hopefully i am able to change everything out soon!
I had to pull out the rear bumper and cut the bottom portion off since i will be making my own bumpers, plus the old ones were damaged
then picked up a few things,
then the dana 44
and recently been working on the roof rack
Also have a friend that builds gates and he told me he would help me build some brackets, came out great but i still need to cut them to get the rack to sit closer to the roof
