Montana XJ
So, before this Cherokee I owned a '93 xj sport with a 3 inch lift on 33" super swampers. Unfortunately, just 1 week after I got the brand new tires I totalled my jeep in a 50mph collision that wasn't my fault cause someone ran a stop sign.
Before: http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._3440983_n.jpg After: http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-..._6616040_n.jpg http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-...2_497451_n.jpg So yeah, the way it happened was an 84 year old guy stopped at a stop sign, looked, then pulled out making a left turn straight in front of me. I had only about 1 second to hit the brakes but it was raining so they didn't do anything and I hit the 2004 Dodge crew cab at about 45 mph. As a result of this, his insurance has been quite generous as it would be easy to show in court that he shouldn't even have been driving in the first place. I got about 7 grand for the cherokee (wayyy more than it was worth) and then I receive payments every month from his insurance because I am unable to work now. The wreck put me and my girlfriend in the hospital for a day and I have chronic back pain still as a result so I am expecting a big settlement for pain and suffering. Also expecting a bunch more for inconvenience cause they said they'd pay that too. :icon_cheesygrin: The wreck happened in September 2010 and by late October I had a new XJ. I bought it in Spokane and then drove it back here (Missoula). Here's the day I got it: http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-..._3707121_n.jpg |
Here's the stats on the new Cherokee:
Put some new fog lights on it and took some pics: http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-..._5018817_n.jpg http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-..._5928638_n.jpg |

I had been looking at a bunch of fabricated bumpers for a while now and I decided to order a prerunner winch bumper form Nate's 4x4. http://nates4x4.com/galleries/bumper...h%20Bumper.jpg The cost of the bumper was: $320 as pictured ^ +$25 receiver hitch +$28 3/4" Clevis +$25 Hardware kit +$38 XJ 97-01 +light tabs (usually $15 but Nate included them free) Total: $451 Not a bad price for a full size winch bumper with a gaurd. It arrived after about 3.5 weeks (but it was during the holiday season) and I had it painted and installed a week after that. http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-..._6076984_n.jpg http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._2683742_n.jpg Tinted tail lights: http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-..._3100282_n.jpg |

With this and the glasspack it purrs so nice and deep. Doesn't sound anything like the little fart rockets on all those honda civics. |
Nice looking ride. I like the way the fender flairs look compared to stock.

Thanks man.
So yesterday my Jeep was driving weird on the way to school, so when I got out of class i took it down to the shop. When we looked under it the cross-member had come loose and my entire engine and tranny were hanging, about to fall out :icon_eek:. 3 hrs and $160 later they had tapped out the stripped out bolt points, and put in a u-bolt to hold it up. It worked great and felt perfectly normal, but later last night it pulled through :icon_mad:. I was able to drive it to the shop which was only a few blocks away and I parked it there for them to work on after the weekend. I knew that there was a possibility of it coming loose, and what'll probably happen now is I'll just have to get a new cross-member since this one is bent a bunch anyways. Hanging: http://www.biohazardcreations.com/Jeep/crossmember.jpg You can see part of the tranny hanging down on top of it^ |
sorry to hear bout the crash, and that sucks about the crossmember:brickwall:
other than that it looks pretty sweet:icon_cheesygrin: |
Thanks^
So everything's fixed now, they fabricated some solid crossmember drop spacers that worked way better. It was also due for a u-joint and when they took the old one out it was the wrong u-joint! :pinch: They replaced it with a new correct one that fits much better. Unfortunately while my Jeep was parked at the mechanic over night, a snowplow came by throwing up tons of rocks which hit about half my windshield and driver's side window. There's about 10-15 scratches on the wind shield and 5 on the drivers side, and they're all pretty deep into the actual glass. I called the DOT and they're mailing me a form to file with the state to maybe get compensated. :wacko: Otherwise the Jeep is perfect right now, but I'm thinking about getting some 35" Super Swampers for this summer. Also ordering some new lights soon.:turned: |
Just ordered blue LED bulbs for entire interior (including gauges), the total was only $40 pretty good price for that many bulbs. Also getting my subs soon. :grin:
