96 Cherokee
 
2 Attachment(s)
Haven't been on here since I sold my last Cherokee. Which has been years. My last Cherokee was a 2 door 96 Cherokee and I just recently bought a 96 4 door Cherokee lifted 3 inches. There has been a lot of engine work done to it but nothing to the cosmetics or anything. I'll post my progress on it and would love for everyone to chime in on ideas I should do. Thanks

I have a 96 with 235/75/15 tires, can I put on factory 16's or 17's? Theres some nice sets at the Pull Pay yard by me.

Yes you can go with them but just make sure it's the right lug pattern. Mine are for a wrangler so I had to use a adapter

Got my wheels on today with a 1.5 inch adapter.

Havent done much since I bought the jeep. My daughter was born so haven’t had much time or money. But I’ve done a few things and hope to do a lot more soon.
https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.che...3d977bc13.jpegChanged the front and rear diff fluids and painted the cover
https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.che...633e64ffe.jpegInstalled led headlights and trimmed bottom of bumper and flares
https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.che...1e401ac24.jpegPainted the steering components
https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.che...bf96f7568.jpegInstalled a led light bar to the factory fog light location
https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.che...f37effd26.jpegNeeded to change my valve cover gasket so decided to paint it while it was off and replace the valves on top
https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.che...cb017664b.jpegFinish product
https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.che...6e905dbd4.jpegLooks good behind the hood vents
https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.che...381bbdee6.jpegWent a lil crazy with the burnt copper paint and started painting everything
https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.che...fb4027442.jpegPainting slots on grill
https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.che...22ff5c809.jpeg
https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.che...ccd5aa8a8.jpegGot rid of the line and added filter to it
https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.che...7d4452f5e.jpeg
https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.che...16d5d7813.jpegGot a great deal on a snorkel so I decided to put one on the jeep. Iv heard several good and bad things to them so decided to try it myself
https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.che...53ac00ac7.jpeg
https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.che...a1701971f.jpeg
https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.che...648af8ce2.jpegLooks good and so far the jeep seems to be running better. PO had a homemade cai on it so snorkel versus that is night and day. Gas mileage has seem to get better and better throttle reaponse.

https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.che...8fa8a059d.jpegNext up is to waterproof the rest of engine and jeep so I can test this snorkel out

Looks good and I like the paint combo you got going on. What did you replace the dash lights with some after market LED's?
