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

01mainexj

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

01mainexj

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

01mainexj

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

then my buddy got an xj lifted 8 inches on 33 boggers and wanted some bigger tires so im got the boggers off him since hes moving up to 35's

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