99 XJ Project Mayhem (pic intense!)
 

So im returning to Cherokee forum, i used to have an 88 xj that i loved until i blew the head gasket in the snow last winter, fixed it up and sold it, and yesterday i traded my 01 Suzuki gsxr600 for this new project
99 jeep Cherokee, 5.5" Rubicon express long arm travel lift. had 152k when it got dropped in my driveway.

the story with the jeep goes something like this, about a year ago it got tipped on it side one of the first couple times it ever saw dirt. previous owner was on some culvert and tipped the jeep, resulting in some good damage.

ill let the pictures do the talking:

Wow, that thing took a lot of damage from a flop.

yeah it did, i havent taken any pics of how it is sittin right now, but i have the front axle out. and going to clean everything up weld on some homemade brackets for the lower control arms that are stronger.
the stock ones are on 1/8" steel brackets.

Looks like you have your work cut out for ya. Good luck man, lll be watching!

thanks! yeah im aiming to finish it by sometime november at the latest. so i have to hustle, but im also on a budget which is the only thing slowing me down :hammer:
