2 door build thread
 

So I purchased a Cherokee a few months back and since things are kinda slow moving right now I figured I'd catch up and make a build thread. I'm new to the wheeling and off-roading world as well as jeeps so any advise, info, or anything to help move me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. I'll attach pictures as I go but I started out with a 94 2 door xj I bought for 700 bucks off craigslist in running and driving condition. I knew the floors were rusted pretty bad so I removed all the carpet and seats. I also was told the oil pan gasket needed replacing so I got on that and boy was that a pain in the you know what. So far I haven't really put anything aftermarket on it yet but I did pick up a set of steel wheels that needed some cleaning up so I decided to completely refinish them and bedline them. I want to keep this thread rolling so I will update as often as I can and again please any and all help would be greatly appreciated:icon_lol:

The day I got her in my drive way the paint job looks like spray paint so I'm planning on raptor lining the whole thing after I get a new rear hatch and fix the driver side door

Replaced rear diff seal and found out i have a Chrysler 8.25 and since it is a 94 I'm thinking it's the 27 spline version but I don't know how to tell the difference

Wheel face primed after priming I really saw the spots I missed with the wire wheel so I got that back out hit the spots I missed and re painted
