The '89 budget build
Alright I'm new to the forum, & to the off roading seen. I picked up a 1989 cherokee laredo, 4.0, manual, 4x4, STOCK, over heating, & with bald tires for $300 bucks! 
Current upgrades;
*33x12.5x15 firestone A/Ts- used for $80
*3" skyjacker coils, & S10 bastard pack- $60
*3.55 axle swap, D30- $30, & D35- FREE
*Make a t-case drop, & mount up the t-case skid- FREE
*Make some quick disconnects- $3 (hardware)
*Cut & fold fenders, & bumpers.
*Need to find some cheap steel wheels with some back spacing.
*Need to find some cheap shocks.

Got the old vac. disconnect axle, & trim pulled.
Tossed the 3.55 D30 in. Just waiting to pick up the springs!
I'm trying to keep this build under $600 bucks (for now lol)

I gotta say for under $600 bucks most budget builds don't end up on 3" lift, 33x12.5 tires, & upgraded gears!
We will get this thing ready to hit the trails ASAP (stay tuned in people), cause I want my garage back! Lol

I like it man. looks like you have some good flex. those 33's look good with the 3 inch lift. hope to see this thing tear it up in person!
