Default Helga pepper (99 xj)

I searched and searched for a cherokee for a good 6 months. I kept finding grand cherokees and wranglers, ugh! And when I did find a cherokee it was either a rust bucket or no 4wd. I finally found her. Bought her in jan for 3 grand and 97k on her. It has a Dana 30 up front and Chrysler 8.25 in the back. Very clean a couple dents and scratches here and there. I mainly want her for the snow, so I can go snowboarding and skiing. I am definitely going to lift it and wheel once and awhile.






My plans are an Iron Rock Offroad 5.5 inch lift kit, 33x10.5 inch BFG A/T's wrapped around 15x8 cragar d windows, Tom woods SYE and driveshaft, Rigidco FbLtd front bumper, detours tailbone. I am also going to remove the body moldings and bed line the bumper, tailbone and rockers.

Any suggestions or comments on my build are welcome. Also if you have any experience with any of these companies or parts, let me know.
