My 99 XJ "Prom Queen"
 

Here is my 99 Cherokee.. Not necessarily a build thread. Just pictures I have from over time. I originally traded another vehicle for it . Started off with old lift parts, blown shocks, only thing good was a home brew radius arm setup. with Johnny joints all around.

Very clean to start with. Fresh paint and mint interior.

33"s Low pinion dana 30, chrysler 8.25 stock gears open diff.

Next mod is cut the rear hatch in half, trash the bottom half make latches for the top half and mount the spare tire flat half in half out on a tire gate style setup. Somewhat like this. And once i leave Alaska ( shock killer cold) Im going to upgrade to fox 2.0s And get rid of the tail light housings and flush mount the LEDS

A few extra bits to add

No sway bars and love it. 100 percent removed. It is a daily driver and I have no concerns, steering box brace, SYE , home made snorkel in its future from exhaust tubing.
