After that I took her to my families property again to snap a few pics, and plus I wanted to see how good the flex on the stock suspension was.
I did manage to get a few sweet shots, even with the lame tires and stock suspension.

Currently looking at lift kits for it, looking for something somewhat affordable but good and have had my eyes on the zone 4” lift. I’ve heard terrible things about the RC one. Anyone have any opinions on zone’s?

Bought some low quality LED's for the property since I don't do any hard enough wheeling to warrant anything special. Wish I could've centered them more but the clamps I have them on wont move in anymore because of the wind deflector

Ended up buying a few stickers for it to try and make it more of my own, also got a Cherokee forum one because its almost an obligation ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The next thing I did was making an attempt to get rid of the ugly gray cladding on the sides, I didn't like it as much just taking it off so I went the bed liner route.
before any coats
after the second coat
Getting the front bumper off by myself was a pain in the ***.
Final product, looks good asf inn my opinion
Ended up using 5 1/2 of thee 7 cans of bed liner I bought. Better to be safe than sorry I reckon. Really liked the way it turned out, gives the jeep a newer look

added a small recovery hook just in case I ever got stuck, street tires dont handle too well in South Carolina mud

Hey man enjoying the build. I as well am a teenager working a minimum wage job. Just started my build thread a couple days ago too on my 90 Xj. I was looking at Rough Country but because of all the bad reviews I decided against it. And after some research I decided on Zone. Haven't bought it yet but I think I'll be happy with it.They're cheaper than most and good quality. Subbed!

Took it back out to our property again to camp and get it a little dirty. Jeep has suddenly turned from black to an orange color

Haha yea man the money drains fast it's insane. I heard that IRO makes Zone products from somewhere on CherokeeForum. Not sure if it's true or not tho.
