Default Budget Project "CAMO GIRL" 1997 2dr.

Well its been along time since I've owned a 4x4, came across a great deal on FB when I posted a ISO and this is what I drove home. Reason for the iso was I need something to get me around the hunting lease and fourwheelers are crazy expensive around here unless they are junk. Walking thru a mile of water covered trail and dragging a deer sucks. So I started looking and didn't take but a day or so and I found this well loved xj. 1997, 4.0 h.o. with dana 30/35 axles and a full interior and exterior camo job. The name is from my two young daughters who name everything. Our other vehicles all have names too! I've started working on it but slowly because my job is a shift job that rotates days and nights. So on with the pics! If anybody is curious I'll post more details including a list of parts and prices so far.






carpet was soaked

If you jeep carpet hasn't been soaked you don't truly wheel. Unless in the desert. It's clean looking, can't wait to see what you plan to do with her

I also removed all the stickers and redneck stuff! I like the camo outside but inside I might just repaint black or tan.

Could do a cool chalkboard paint job so your daughters can draw all over it with chalk.
