Default Its now a 2001 Cherokee build. Coming back from the dead.

So I have this 00 Cherokee that I have had for a while now, and I am going to start doing work on it because it has given me no other choice, I have an engine out of a 97 Cherokee country that I am going to rebuild and change over to the coil. I am only looking to spend about 500 max on the rebuild as I will be doing it myself. Any suggestions on what kind of kits to use, or performance parts for the engine. I am also currently switching the entire interior over from the 97 country into my 00 sport.( the country has the wood trim) Including the dash, I had it line-x coated as well, with all the screws put back in there is no squeek.
Sooo yeah thats a big nothing burger, now its a 2001 build, anyone know how to change the title of my post header?
*EDIT*
Well it is 04/04/2024 and that Jeep didn't work out, life came fast and I am now working on a Jeep that I have had sitting for a long time. Posted pics below, Gonna Start working on the Jeep Hopefully getting it going by Winter.

Default Parts found in storage, damn its been 6 yrs I've been holding onto this stuff.


T-Case with SYE exploded, in 2015, I've got the sads.

The hole that Appeared out of nowhere. You might be able to see the cracks on the case.

Another angle that shows the cracks.

The new/used T-Case I'm going to build NP231J. With a new SYE.

I have like 3 Transmissions, this one was beat up a bit when the T case exploded. But still runs good just needs a couple new sensors. If you zoom into the back left side you will see the sensor that was smashed.

I have 3 fuel tanks these are 2 of the spares.

Bwahahaha, yes the fake wood dash. Even though they peeled the bottom on accident after peeling off the tape. So I had my interior Line-X'd if you look at the side you might notice. Once its all installed you will never hear a squeaks.

Showing the Line-X

Just random parts.

More parts from a couple Jeeps I owned one blew up, the other was a parts rig I should have kept the body.

My seats that I'm planning on getting re-upholstered, and having aftermarket heated seats added for those cold winters. I'll post what I get when I get them.

Not sure if this is a Dana 35 or 30-HP, how would I be abld to tell?

Not a Jeep, but I still rolled this baby 4 times. 1998 Suburban.

Another angle, I was riding with my guardian Angel that night.

Okay back to Jeep Cherokee Parts that were Line-X'd.

The plastic doesn't break when Line-X'd especially the tailgate plastic that always breaks.

More parts Line-X'd.

Ok done posting pics but yea I have like 2 spare Jeeps in Parts. All interior plastics was Line-X'd.

Well I finally got the door off after a lot of WD-40, PB, a hammer and some heat.

The bolts are ruined. Tomorrow the rest of the doors come off then to the sand blaster and then Line-X shop to get painted.

I'm looking to upgrade my rear Axle, to a Ford 8.8, & I found this link to an old post back in 2008. Lots of good info. Posting it to save the link.
