Awesome build so far. Looks like you've really taken your time on everything and done it right. Engine bay looks great! I've got to start cleaning mine at some point. It's so much nicer working on clean parts!
Great pics too, keep those coming. It's going to be a whole different jeep with a new tire and wheel setup.

Totally cool build !!

Great looking two door. Do you plan to put on some more aggressive tires?

Keep up the great work and posting pics of your mods.

Thanks! Yeah i don't miss the days being covered in grease every time i work under the hood haha, its much nicer working on a clean engine. I'm excited though for the new wheels and tires, its going to make all the difference.

Thanks! Yeah here within the next month or two i'm getting some 33x12.50 BFG Km2 mud terrains, and much as i love my stock rims (not) all be getting some new rims also.

Looks good man. I have the same wheels on mine. The more time you spend working on your jeep the less time you have to get into trouble,at least it works form me.
Keep up the good work and look forward to watching the progress..

i cant get over how clean the outside is for the year. was is like that when you bought it or what??

Thanks man. I love the lifted stock look too, however I also love the mean trail rig look too so I'm torn between the two haha.

Same wheels? Nice... The more I see them, the more I love them. And your right, working on the Cherokee is a great way to stay out of trouble, too bad I can't find a cheaper way to accomplish the same goal haha

Thanks! They will do until I get my 33's and bushwackers haha

Wow yeah yours looks a lot like mine! I like yours a lot. Gotta love white 2 doors!

Yeah I was shocked on how great it looks for being over 20 years old. But it was repainted white long before I bought it. It's factory color is actually grey. I like the white a lot more though so I'm not complaining haha

Well, it looks like after 9 months of being death wobble free, it's back haunting me again. Gotta love old jeeps right? I had a bad wheel bearing but it was driving great so I put off replacing it, and one day after a wheeling weekend I was driving home doing about 55 I got the death wobble bad.... So I figured I would replace the wheel bearing. I bought a premium heavy duty wheel bearing, replaced it, and now I'm getting a mild death wobble at 55mph, and it will sometimes go full out death wobble where I have to slow down to stop it. It never even hints at death wobble under 55mph no matter how big of bump I hit. But anywhere above 55 it's death wobble. A little under a year ago I battled it for 3 months. I replaced the all 4 ball joints, got a adjustable track bar, new u joints, and a alignment. Still it had the death wobble above 55. Turns out I toed it out ever so slightly and dw was gone. And it was great up until recently. I'm thinking that the wheel bearing going bad threw off the alignment, and then now with a new one it threw it off more thus making the dw worse... So I'm hoping a alignment will be the cure. Any ideas? As much as I just love the death wobble (not) I would like to get it fixed so I can once again travel on the freeway haha.
