College kid = slow but steady build
This jeep is my fifth truck and the smallest by far. My last one was a 2000 Ram half ton (5.9L magnum) with 5.5" lift and 35x15.5's. Needless to say the tranny didn't last long. Since it needed a lot of front end work I ended up selling it and buying this 96 two door with a 4 banger. I was looking for a dependable vehicle with good gas mileage but now I'm hooked on the cherokee. It has only 94000 miles on it (I've done 10k so far) and the old veteran that I bought it from hardly drove it and gave me all of his receipts since '06 ($4000+).
So far I have only replaced the muffler (cracked and rusted all to s***) with a cherry bomb glasspack and I modded the hinges so that the doors are removable. My to do list (somewhat in order)

cooler/fishing pole rack that I made for my old chevy and then my dodge but was too low for the xj so... 2x2 tubing, some hockey pucks, and a couple 1/2 in bolts
p.s. anyone know how I can attach a picture and write a caption above it? |
you guys know how much I'd have to cut the fenders to fit 32x11.50's ? I know I can fit 31x10.50's with the 3" lift and no cutting
|
jus cut and fold to the body line above the fenders and you'll be able to tuck 32's, you'll want to bump stop though.
