So last week i bought a Red 95 Jeep Cherokee Sport, with 214,xxx miles. It is a 5 speed that has a 2 inch BB lift and 31 inch tires. I paid $2,000 for her and then i put in a radiator and flushed all the fluids. Im going to have to put in a new clutch in the next couple of months, but i will worry about that when the time comes. I love it so far, and its a blast to drive. My last vehicle was a Saturn Sl that didn't even have power steering, so it has been different to learn to park and drive. Im just about done with my second term at PCC in Sw Portland and i only have a part time job. This is going to be a slow and steady build but im VERY excited about it. I ordered a Cherokee forum sticker a couple days before i got her and it came in the mail yesterday and just got it installed.
My plans for this are to get a 4.5 inch lift, some JCR do it yourself bumpers, some 32's, a roof rack with a full size spare on top that has a hi lift jack and a shovel on it. In the next month im ordering some of the A piller light brackets off of one of the venders on here with some hella 500 black magic lights. Theres going to some miscellaneous stuff that im picking up over the build. But this should be and exciting build for me as im 18 and plan on doing most of the work myself.

My next buy is going to be the JCR DIY front bumper, and some floor Quadtratec floor mats.

Got my antenna put on today. And mounted my fire extinguisher. Me and my friend are going snow wheeling on Sunday so I will get some picture of her in action.

Just got done putting my grill back on after painting it flat black. The chrome just wasn't doing it for me. I think it looks 500 times better now.

Got paid today and decided it was time to upgrade my sound system. After only have one speaker in the sound bar I bought a pair of alpines that are very nice.

Got my bumper mounted up today. Didn't have time to cut the fender before work to make it flush with the bar. I am going to do that next week.

Well I blew my u joint while wheeling this past weekend so I got it all fixed up. It's so nice to have a friend who works in a shop so you have access to all of his tools and a lift to make the that much easier.
