2001 cheap xj project
 

my name is Connor im 17 and im from maine and figured now that my cherokee is pretty much done being built for a while i would start a build thread. I dont really have many pictures of the building but have the different stages along the way.

so heres what i started with a completely stock 2001 cherokee sport with 146k on it for $1000 dollars that i patched some rust on the rockers on then got inspected the next day.

I wheeled it stock for a week before i caught that jeep thing and lifted it

then i went down to the offroad shop and picked up a 3 inch zone lift and kept the 235/75/15s for a little while and wheeled like that

after searching craigslist for a while i found a set of 31's with some good all terrain tread so threw those on and put a set of chevy lowering shackles on for some more lift and flex in the back

Looks like you got a great deal on your Cherokee. I'm kinda jealous

Ya it was my buddies dads so i got a great deal i was stoked when he told me i could have it for 1000

i got a brand new dana 30 spartan locker on craigslist for $200 and put that in one night but have no pictures it was really easy and i would recomend them.


after that i ended up bending my tie rod so headed to the junkyard and picked up one from a v8 zj

i also disconnected my front sway bar and through out my rear sway bar and but a high lift on the factory rack

I'm liking that bumper

I'm liking your bumper. Do you have any more pictures of the build?

Not really any of the build i built it all at once what are you looking for pictures of i can take some.

Like the boggers

That would be awesome if you could, in need of a new front bumper and I like your style of bumper, simple and effective
