2000 XJ Project "Silverback"
I finally decided to start my build thread! I picked up my 2000 Jeep Cherokee (automatic) back around March of 2013 for $2800 with around 120,000 miles. It was completely stock when I got it.

A week or so after I got her my friend and I decided to go wheeling for the first time with our XJs!

I ended up getting stuck and overheated the engine ops!

Some of the first few things I did was remove the stupid bumper caps, angry eyes (don't hate I like it), and install Pontiac Grand Prix hood vents.

The previous owners never told me the XJ was in some sort of accident
[IMG]
[/IMG]
Or that it had a huge rust hole
[IMG]
[/IMG]
So until I cut off the rear 1/4 panels the rear bumper caps are staying on
[IMG]
[/IMG]
Making the first cut was the hardest part
[IMG]
[/IMG]
But with my fathers help, we did it!

All finished up! We used little brackets and screw to hold the vents in place

I got a set of 31" All Terrain Kumho tires (got a real good deal so I can't complain).

My dad and I went with our local club (Erie Jeep People) to the annual Cornfield 500. It was a great time, I plan on running in it next year!

Got a used Rubicon 3.5" lift for $300! It just needed a little cleaning up.
The axles gave my father and I some problems so we used his jeep to keep them in place lol.
Working long into the night multiple times...
But finally finished after a weeks worth of hard labor!

Went wheeling with Erie Jeep People for the first time and what a blast it was!
Some sweet Jeeps!
Jeeps look best when all muddy!
Of course my dad had to tag along.

I decided to throw my spare tire up on the roof
My dad thought it looked stupid, so he got my a Warrior Products Roof Rack for Christmas!
Built our own hi lift jack mounts
Always gotta have this stuff
