The welds are sick. My cousin actually was a good aluminum welder. He worked in a factory on vehicles i believe. Keep it up looking forward to the progress..

Nice looking Jeep man! Gotta love the two-doors, and Looks my Xj had a close relative when yours was stock...jealous of the 5-speed though...I miss my old one.

Nice, I originally wanted black. But to find this combo, a clean, 98, 2 door, 5 speed, I was done looking. I showed up with cash and paid his full asking price. I've grown to love the green

Personally I like the Green over the Black myself as well. I've always wanted a 2-Door five speed and personally find Cherokees to be much much better with the AX-15 over the AW-4. Glad your liking your jeep so far and I'm looking forward to more of your build, might even help me point my build in the right direction haha.

you think thats hard to find. try finding a clean 97-99 4 door 5 speed. for less than 3K at that. man it was difficult but got it done. i would have even gotten a green one if i had to though im no a green fan in the least bit. around here lots more 2 door 5 speeds than 4 doors.

jeep looks nice and clean.

Trying to find a 2d that hasnt been beat into submission is near impossible around here.. Seems the only ones that get taken care of are the 4 doors, the 2 doors end up being some 16 yr olds toy.

Mine must have been owned by a retiree, it was near perfect. It probley got more of a beating in the first 6 months with me than its had in its whole life. Its still recovering from when I took it for a few laps on my buddy's dirt bike track lol. I had my fun but those days are over I wanna keep it clean
