oh yea?... you traded the cherokee?
Dude... the jeep is at a stand still, been working and getting my place together and ready for the bundle of joy that should be coming anytime this week or the next.
I drove the jeep from VA to TX and when i got here, the passenger side hub was gone and the ball joints are shot. So ive been working on other things i can for free that i got from the jy when i was in Miami.

Well I guess this is a worthy update....
Bought an rc bumper for under $250...sold it
Swapped my nates4x4 bumper over to the Cherokee and finally installed the smittybilt xrc8
Rc bumper...

Nates 4x4 with the winch and cover...

Oh I just ordered a diy Mojave rear bumper...going to try and add in the rear cut and fold when I build the bumper....

What's up fellas
So I recouped some birthday money and bought some hd no lift relocation brackets and the ones that add lift...I was going to buy the re boomerang shackles and some brown dog motor mounts then realized there's a 40% off at the Jy so I couldn't pass up on a deal for another 4.10 8.25....

Going to wait next check to pick up some shackles and save up for the brown dogs with the brackets

I need it sooner rather than later. Probably end up getting one from the only place I have been able to source one. CarQuest for almost $200 after taxes. But that's the price ya pay for a 2 door. Yeah let me know and I'll pm you if I get one prior. Still need to get it running before I worry about whether the windows move.

I saw over 12-13 pre 96 2 doors it was a tease! Till a forum member from another forum that constantly hits jys got me a set for about $120 shipped and extra for helping me out....and freegdr helped me out with the panels from eBay....
I'll keep scouring jys till one pops up and I'll let you know first hand...
