Default My 99' 2 Door New England Build

Alright some of you may already know i bought a new Cherokee last thursday. I know everone loves pics but i dont have them yet. Id like to show u guys my new toy im just waiting for a nice day and wash her and take pics. (Looks like Tuesday will be the day as of now)

And now for the actual build information:

- I plan on getting a 4.5 lift, not sure what kind yet been contemplating between Clayton, BDS, or a Rock Krawler and Clayton mix
- I plan to run 33" tires and as of right now i have my mind set on Goodyear MTR's with Kevlar
- Plan to get a set of Smittybilt XRC front and rear bumpers, rear is with the swing out tire carrier
- Rims im thinking of the Mickey Thompson Classic II's (black) or Dick Cepeck DC 2's
- JCR's Ultimate rock sliders
- Bushwacker flat cut out fenders

- And a few more this is to get a good eye on what to see others include roof rack gears winch all the fun stuff

If you guys have any input, or comments id be glad to hear them . Maybe help me pick put what im debating on choosing from or route im goin.

Yeahh haha thats what the small gaiges remind me of which is why i refuse to go that route but its not bothering me now ive never overheated or got an excessive drop in oil pressure( if i had a 00-01 id want the oil gauge to make sure i wouldnt get a cracked head) so its not bothering me and i got used to it in a week

Also cant wait to actually start this build , i just hve to wait for my tax return and refund check from my school haha
