Ok so this my first xj I got it for $700, It is a 1993 Cherokee country. Im currently between two jobs so this is gonna be a slow build. Just too get it running I had to replace the water pump, steering pump, and fuel filter (which was a pain bc is was rusted threw and practically welded to the frame) but now is running good and is my daily driver

[QUOTE="Irongrave"]nice base for a project
what are your long term plans for it[/QUOTE="]
Thanks I know for sure I want to do atleast a 2 or 3 inch lift with 30 inch tires and I would like to paint it but other than that I don't have much planned out for it yet. It's my daily driver and I would like to be able to do some wheeling in it too.

with a 2 or 3in lift you can run 31s easy. I had 32s and cut fenders on a 2in spacer lift
if your gonna paint it spend some time and a little $$ and do a 97+ front end swap
