Little Red Riding Hood
So I recently purchased my 1996 Cherokee Classic with 99k on the odom back in October of this year. I wanted to stop driving my 240sx everyday and i wanted a 4wd vehicle with more space. Some of my co-workers have wranglers and ive always liked lifted suvs. Decided to go with the cherokee bc the seats fold down in the rear and the inline 6 on them never die. Also most of the work i was confident i could do myself or with the help of my friends.

while red isnt my favorite color the fact that it was a 1 owner under 100k with no rust no accidents was too clen to pass up. I never had plans of keep ing it stock so i decided to go with the Rough Country 3" kit and a set of 31's
doing the lift was fun and interesting coming from a car backround.. for the most part it went pretty smooth prob thanks to liquid wrenching for a week straight b4 we turned a bolt. The back was first
we finished the front the following week and also installed the RUSTYs bar type t-case drop

sometime b4 installing the rear suspension i read a post on painting the sound bar.. the liner off mine was coming off and the speakers were blown so i decided to give it a shot. I bought a basic sent of replacement speakers at pepboys although i went with a slightly bigger size in the rear and i decided to change the front speakers also. My roomate also bought me an awesome hd radio for my car so that was installed as well
the first pic is me half way cleaning the fuzzies
this one is me after 3 coats of flat black paint
pic of the radio and speakers i went with
the hd radio came from crutchfield i believe it was $80 i rec using there veh specific speaker connectors makes the install so much faster

i decided my birthday present to myself would be a set of rims. I decided to do with D-windows
my girlfriend bought me my rola roof rack for xmas with the extension
now for a long time i had my heart set on general grabber red letters, however this past week one of my customers said he had a set of General Grabber AT2's for sale brand new for $300. I checked online there were alot of good reviews on the tires so i asked to check out the tires in person. tread depth on the tires 16/32nds and for $300 id be a fool not to jump on them
forgive the crappy cell phone pics but thats all i have right now

other minor things that i changed was the front grill i swapped it for a black one..
so far the Grabber AT2's i love there alot lighter than the Grabber Red letters and should be good in the snow..
future plans:
more lights
front bumper
tints
tail light (maybe modify or buy something diff)
put in steering stabilizer
center caps
