Hello Everyone. New to the Cherokee world. Bought a 1999 Cherokee Classic from a buddy at work after I sold my 1995 YJ.(Frame damage). I really needed a vehicle and he had one for sale for semi-cheap. So bought it and am now driving for my daily driver.

For now my plans are to make it dependable for a DD and for mild off road use (Hunting, Camping, Etc.) It has some issues.

The couple pics I am posting are from when I brought it home. Its was sitting for 7 months and was dirty. Things I have done in the past couple weeks are..

-Cleaned it a little
-New TPS
-New Air Filter
-New Gas tank straps
-Replaced taillights
-Vacuumed out best I could (Had LOTS of dog hair)
-Ran some Seafoam though a tank.
-Jerry Rigged hood latch(Was broke when I bought it)

Am looking forward to working on it, but it will be slow due do ya know, House, bills, kid, Wife's vehicle, motorcycles.. lol.

But after reading a bunch of build threads on here, there is a lot of knowledge I can learn from to make my XJ the way I want it.

Oh Yeah, Has 1.5" OME Lift. 31" Tires and everything else is basically stock.

Started a little work on the XJ, Pulled the corner bumper covers off to reveal some awesome rust...Grrrr. Bodywork in my future.

Did bedline rear bumper.. And cleaned my TB up... of course no after pic, I forgot.

My front bumper is a little bent in on one side due to a little bump into a truck that my buddy that owned it before me did. I am going to go look in he JY to find another. Later want to get a winch bumper..

Ordered a new Radiator from Champion Radiators. Hopefully it will be a good one. It overheated on me Saturday on my way back from my clubs car show. I have a car cruise this weekend so I will have to put the radiator in on Sunday. Also will hopefully get some other things done too. Need to get a lot done before hunting season starts...

Been awhile since I have posted. Have done a few things to the heep. Got the new Champion radiator installed and it is staying cool now. Had pics of that install but some how they are MIA.

I also changes my valve cover gasket, and painted valve cover. I also had to cut the hitch off cause it was rust welded in there . Still have not got it fully out yet. Going too go hunting this weekend so next week need to do more things on the jeep. I am getting good ideas from other builds on here so I thank everyone... Stay tuned.
