Ok..... So Im a senior in high school so its been a cheap build up,
It is a 99 xj sport with 115xxx miles on m/s tires
I got the jeep as a hand me down from my mom who got it from some mom who used it to go back and forth to work. When I got it im sure the jeep was happy cause I finally popped its 4x4 cherry, anyways it has been turned from a mommy mobile to a decent rig but the build isnt over till I am, mise well bury me in this thing when I die,
Heres what it looked like a few weeks after I got it, (i added the roof rack right when I got it)
Then came the brush guard
Next, being the teenager I am got a system (2 12" kicker comps rf amp) and built my first box.
Then came a trip that just about killed my jeep, but it survived with only minor damage(friends comanche)
Then came a few little mods like painting my steering wheel letters
My craftsman key
Painting my trim
Painting a flag on my windferring
Decals
Painted my rims black

Gascan I repainted

Then I decided to make a new box with our schools cnc machine
I didnt like the black so I repainted it white with black

I took an old craftsman stubby screwdriver and heated up the tip then slid it out, then got a spare key made and grinded it down to fit in the hole, heated that up then slid the key into the handle, let it cool then carefully put gorilla glue to fill the hole. It only works for newer cherokees because the older ones have the weird ignition
