Alright so I joined CF sometime last September and have learned more and more everyday about the Cherokee thanks to all of you! So this past Saturday I drove up to Disputana Virginia and finally bought my first Cherokee; a 99' classic 4dr with np242 TC and only 134k on the clock. Overall very clean jeep with average rust for spending most of its life in DC. Runs well and all gauges work great.

Basic plans:
4.5 Rusty's long arm and HDO shackle relocators with a 1.5 coil spacer to level it out
HnT sye and cv driveshaft
33" mtrs and any black steel wheels I find cheapest
Trim fenders, don't know how much yet
Hoping to find Chrysler 8.25 of D44 in JY to swap and regear
Update brakes and extended lines
Beef up steering with JY findings
Front and rear bumpers, thinking stinger and winch up front
A roof rack of some sort still undecided
50" lightbar on windshield and pods on rear bumper and some form of updated headlights
Engine stuff: better air filter, injectors, exhaust of any kind don't have a preference, maybe tranny cooler
Viair oba system for lockers and air tools
Rock sliders, diff covers, and other armor
That's all I can think of off the top of my head at the moment.

I'm only 17 and currently jobless so it will be slow and not steady lol, still very excited about the build nonetheless! In the meantime I'll be doing little maintenance things like locating and fixing any leaks, noises, or minor rust. For the interior; audio, headliner, and LEDs for the cluster, shifter, and floor illuminating ones.

Thank y'all in advance for any advice or questions answered! Also I'm glad I can finally stop posting in here about my theoretical xj haha.

Thanks man! I've got a lot of work cut out for me haha and I'm on the app so it would only let me upload the one picture so I'll try to get an album going on my profile sometime soon.

Congrats on the Jeep man! I rolled through Disputanta Saturday going to play with my Cherokee.

Sounds like you have a good plan. Have fun!
