1. 4.5” Rough Country Lift (http://www.roughcountry.com/jeep_xj_4.html)
2. 32-or-33” tires (brand+width not decided thinkin general grabber AT2s)
3. Maybe some Dick Cepek DC-1s
4. Mossy Oak New Break up Camo headliner! (comin soon……)
5. ARB bullbar
6. SmittyBuilt winch (idk if it will install in ARB’s bulbar……..)
7. Rain gutter mount roof rack (warrior products or kargo master)
8. Optima battery (red top)
9. Cherry bomb glasspack (idk what size Cherokee takes)
10. Some E3 spark plugs
11. Bullet hole magnets!
12. More stickers!
13. More lights!
14. KC HiLites back-up lights mounted to roof rack
15. Maybe a snorkel……
16. Loooonnnnggg way down the road a locker
17. Again, looooonnnnnnnngggg way down the road whole body new paint or rhino liner
18. And once again, loooonnnnnnnnngggggg loooooonnnnnnggg way down the road is a diesel conversion done by JeffDanielsJeeps (Cummins 4BT)
hope u like it! this will be a slower paced build, as money doesnt come in that fast
but it will be done!! changes are highly likely
keep in mind this jeep has bout 209k on it so maybe that diesel conversion will be sooner then expected.... hopefully not! (money wise)

If you get a SYE save yourself $300, skip the tom woods and go to the junkyard and take a front driveshaft off of a cherokee same year as yours and it'll match right up in the back.

hold the new shaft up next to a front shaft from an xj, theyre the exact same length, tube diameter, ect. Tom Woods even uses the factory style spicer joints. Junkyard driveshaft=$20 whereas a TW=$300
This also this gives you interchangeable driveshafts front and rear and if you ever break one, you can just go to the junkyard and pick up another and even stockpile a few for spares
