I Just bought a 2001 Silver Cherokee Classic. 4.0 auto with 165k on the clock and it is clean, no rust anywhere. Great find coming form Wisconsin. It is a 1 owner rig that has never been off the road in it's life. Things are going to change. Just today the Big Brown Truck dropped off the first of the goodies.
A 3" Rough Country Series 2 lift. Already picked up a Big Country roof rack off cl for 100 bucks that included 4 lights. Still to come are the wheels( could use suggestions on type and if 15 or 16"), Cooper Tires new A/T3 tires(either 31x10.5/15, or 265/70r16), K&N cia, fluids changed and trac-loc in the 8.25 rear and some type of locker in the lp D30. Will post pics as soon as i can

Ok last night on my way to friend shop, the water pump blew taking out idle pulley and radiator.
So i picked up everything new from local Napa store. So while front is apart going to also replace aux cooling fan, valve cover gasket, thermostat, new belt, and hoses. hopefully can get the lift on next. I bought a RC 3" series 2 AAL and upgraded to the 2.2 shocks and adjustable trac-bar. Also order the Cooper A/T3 tires in 265/70r16 they should be here Saturday.

Picked up new stereo system today Kenwood KDC-BT948HD and 4 Polk DB521 speakers and received from Rough Country a 1" transfer case drop. Going to stay with the stock rimes unless can find good deal on set of Ravines. Hope to get lift on next weekend. Will post pics as doing to work
