In mid 2006 I purchased a Stock 1996 Jeep Cherokee Sport. I over the years completed the following..................
Junk Yard 5.5" Lift
Cowl Induction Intake
Dana 30 Front Axle
Chrysler 8.25 ZJ Disc Brake Conversion
AX15 Transmission
Cragar Soft 8 Steel Wheels with 33" BFG A/T Tires
98+ Headliner Upgrade
Front Steel Bumper with D-rings
Rocker Panel Guards
Interior Fishing Pole Rack on Headliner
Interior Gun Rack
Wagoneer Front Clip and Tail Lights
Yellow Top Optima Battery
Upgraded Starter Wire - 0 Gauge Wire
Upgraded ZJ Alternator
231 Transfer Case
Custom Vinyl Stickers
Unfortunately in November 2011 I had to sell it for financial reasons. But that is a whole story in itself. Less than 24 hours later, I purchased a 1998 Stock Jeep Cherokee. It was previously a Sheriff Vehicle so there were a few upgrades. These upgrades included, Bigger Transmission Cooler, Dana 30 Front Axle, Dana 35 with Limited Slip Differential, EXT Idle Switch, Upgraded Alternator, along with Miles and Miles of Wiring.
In the time since this purchase I have completed the following.

For a grand total of 9.5" of LIFT
DickCepek 17" DC-2 Rims with 33" BFG A/T Tires

Upgraded Headliner speakers built in
Interior LED Lights
703 Fuel Injectors
Open Beam Euro Style Headlights with 8K HID's
Clear Marker and Corner Lights
Custom Vinyl Stickers
Hypertech Performance Chip
Clear Shock Boots
Beaver Step Recovery Hitch
Gas Tank Skid Plate
LED Gauge Cluster
Interior Gun Rack
Interior Fishing Rod Rack In Headliner (Coming soon...)
Drilled "sloted" rotors
Home made Hood lifters (from a caddy)
Control Arm Drop Brackets
Sun visor with bed liner
98 Dodge Durago Steering Box
Home made roof rack
Home Made Bar Pin Eliminators in the rear & ZONE bar pin eliminates in the front shocks
242 Transfer Case
98 grand Cherokee 32" front drive shaft
RE "Hack-n tap slip yoke eliminator with custom made drive shaft
The Things I still want to do are as follows.......
Rear Swing Arm Bumper
CB Radio with PA System
KC Off Road Lights
37" Mud Tires
Stinger for the Front Bumper
Specials Thanks to the Following...
My Son for his help installing the Lift
My Son and Daughter for enjoying Mud like I do.
My Finace for her Patience and Support.
All My CF Buddies for Pushing Me to "Do Big Things"........."BAHM"
