this is my first build thread so bare with me. This will be a slow slow build and also a mild build nothing too serious. To start off im a highschool student who bought a 1999 cherokee limited about a year ago with 160,000 miles and currently pushing 171,000 miles. 4.0 engine runs flawlessly. I take her muddin all the time and was interested in making her a project rig so here she is. More pics to come soon!

few plans for this jeep
- 2 to 3 inch lift (for now)
- more agressive tires
-interior/ enterior mods
-more lights
-bumpers

Recently replaced track bar, and install new battery into this stock beast

removed bumper end caps for more clearance, and also relocated horns and canister under hood. And repainted grill

Nice dude. It looks clean. I'm in high school too. I bought my 1991 about 8 months ago. You going to lift it? Any interior modding? and interesting spare tire set up. I've never seen that before.

its pretty darn clean, just normal door rust(soon to fix) but yes im going to lift yet not sure how high yet (i dont have **** tons of money lol) and im going to do in interior and exterior mods! And the tire was just sitting there, i was getting a idea for a spare tire mount!

I'm on a tight budget too. It bites only being able to work part time. Where's the rust on the doors? I've noticed mine coming in right under the handles.

I agree. And its coming in along bottom of doors on drivers side, and one little patch on passenger side. I touched it up with factory paint for now until i bedline the doors this summer. Ill post a picture on here of it later

looking pretty good so far, and found this picture that reminds me when i jumped my jeep!

picked up some 30x9.5x15 bf goodrich all terrains, practically brand new came with rims, great price. couple pics from working in the shop today. Hopefully installing lift in a week or so

What she looks like with 2 new tires. ill get a better pic posted tmmrw

let me know what you think so far! any questions, suggestions let me know!

new tires on the jeep. Hit up some roadside ruts, really like these tires so far

Driving down the road yesturday, my check gauges light came on and my temp gauge skyrocketed abd i pulled over to check it out. Smoke was rolling out of the thermostat housing. The gasket must have a weak spot in it. So i replaced the thermostat and put new gasket on. Also bought radiator flush to flush radiator and found out i have a radiator leak.

Just ordered 2 inch budget lift, comes in saturday, hope to put it on tuesday will post pics
