Love the build. Agreed, not too many this color and hated it at first but learned to love it. Everybody calls it grandma gold, even though it clearly says Desert Sand Pearl!! Here's mine. 3" Rustys full leaves, 31s. I want to go to 3.5-4", some napier fender flares, 32s...

Looks good Can'tDrive55 .

Got the back lifted up level with the front and new wheels and tires on.
Also picked up some black bumper caps that I'll get on tomorrow.

Got the new seats in and changed center consol lid to match my two tone camel/Agate interior combo. Looks sharp, I've been wanting to do a interior like this in a cherokee for awhile.

Got rear bumper caps painted and put on as well. Just waiting on paint for front flares, then I'll trim front fenders a bit too.

Looking much better than what I starated with.

Thanks, clean is the goal I'm going for. Yeah the drivers seat came out of a wrecked low miles 2000 and the passenger and rear are out of my red cherokee which I switched over to 2004 grand cherokee seats. I love the 03/04 Laredo cloth seats I have I my red jeep.

Got the front flares painted and on. Not super happy about the paint match. They did it off the paint code and it's a little bit darker/more red in it. Paint isn't faded on rest of rig so I think gal mix was off. I'll see if they will make another can at there cost. But a least for now they are one. Also fixed the power windows lock issue.

Next need to change the clock spring and detail underhood.
