ive deemed my jeep the driveway ornament because i never drive it. I've done a 4" peiced together lift with all brand new parts under $550.00 with full spring lift, no spacers & nitrogen shocks. I just replace stuff thats wore out when i have time. ive had her for going on 8mo and have put under 3500mi on it but when i do get to drive it i love it. my neice just got her drivers liscence and shes put more miles on it than i have, heres a few pics, I have tons of plans and no time to do them.

it sits perfectly level, the driveway makes it look like its sagging in the rear
ive replaced and trimmed the front caps to clear the tires, PO butched the bottoms off of them






heres my old 98 tj back in 2000

 

nice rig! time to get it as dirty as the TJ lol

 

negative sir... them days are over, it gets plenty dirty just running the woods and sitting in the driveway. the TJ took me forever to clean, I went thru a hole thaT swallowed a suburban 1/2 way up the doors. once i went thru i turned around and did it again. what a mess

 

when i 1st got her with the 2" lift,busted rear springs and stock 225 tires



and now with the 4" lift and 32's with 15x10 rim

 

once upon a time, I had 32's. But then realized they suck to find used.. so i found some 33's. No way I'm going back. lol

 

33s suck too.

 

blew a wheel cylinder so i replaced all of it, wheel cyl./shoes/ and drums. its stops damn good now and im in the midst of putting on my bushwacker flares and repainting the end caps to match

less than 24hrs in the driveway



nastiness



yumminess



FYI advance auto price matches rockauto, got all my parts for under $75.00

right rear flare complete, i will paint the end caps to match




next is exhaust revamp since my driveshaft smacks the flange under compression

 

Nice looking cherokee, and i'm really liking those wheels.

 

Thanksthey are mickey thompson challengers, discontinued. i just happen to find a full set (5) but they were in bad shape when i got them

 

Those rims were p[opular back in the 70s and 80

 

I like em cause there diffrent. everybody and their brother,mothers,uncles has black rims on a cherokee

 

Wow, what a difference! The 10" width sets it off too.

Totally agree about the black wheels.

 

i bet you had lots of fun polishing those, my mom has crome wheels on her firechicken (firebird w/ v6) and i always have to get after them with the all the moisture and salt in the air down here. not fun, and her car even sits in the garage all the time

 

actually it wasnt that bad. i wet sanded them with 2000 then 3000 to cut the oxidation, then hit them with a mothers mini powerball and some stuff called white diamond, took me 15min

 

white diamond is amazing stuff. i love those wheels man
