Hey guys! long time no update haha. Well I havent really done much to the old Cherokee besides a new front bumper and some turn signals. Just really been kind of driving it for now, its too cold to do anything to it! But I am getting new 31"s in a few days so hurrah.

Old crappy bumper.

Thanks! I just wish my paint was as nice as yours lol. The 20 years of being in the forest took its toll on it and faded it pretty bad :C doesn't help that the front clip was replaced and then painted with cheap spray bombs x.x

Welp been a while since i posted! jeep got a new fuel pump and is-.... er was running fine, until today. I stalled it pulling off from a stop-sign, so i was like "oh no biggie." went to crank it over again and nothing. Still had all my power, radio was on, wipers were on [it was raining] So then i said "oh battery cable must be loose." so i got my adjustable wrench from my tool bag and went and tightened both cables, then got in and tryed again and nothing. So I waited for a bit for my friend to show up to tow me home and just out of boredom I tryed again and low and behold it cranked very very slowly but just enough to make it fire, so I drove it home and shut it off then tryed to start it again and nothing. So i got in my car and went to work then came home to try again and still nothing. So any ideas on what it could be? battery is fully charged and I tryed jumping the starter solenoid but still nothing. bleh. any ways random pictures since my last post!

Whoa long time no update! I've been busy with work and such, but i finally got around to doing some more work to the XJ.
I finally got a roof rack for it and some A-pillar lights

Which promptly got ripped off by trees, so I'll have to re-install them. and the roof rack lights were held on with exhaust strapping from the guy i bought it off of, so I'll have to remount them to.
