Here's my 1989 limited cherokee I bought it in January of this year with 134,000 miles for $350. Only thing wrong is a rear main seal leak and no ac. During the winter I painted the grill, mirrors and bumper. Replaced valve cover seal and started on a snorkel. Now it sits on 6.5inch mixed lift with Craigslist 35s. I plan on either a Ford 8.8 or chrysler 8.25 with 4.56 front and rear. Maybe a locker or two. And waterproofing any thing I can

thats what i thought.... did one on a K5 once and it was super easy. spent more time taking off/re-installing the oul pan than anything. just wasn't sure about the XJ though.
