My Cherokee Build
Hey guys Im finally starting a build thread, well more of a time line until now.
I first got it in August of 2010 all stock.
Cleaned it up painted the fender flairs and the bottom strip and rocker panels , and tinted the windows. 5% all around except the driver/passenger windows are 25%
Put a 3 INCH RC lift on it new years and wheeled it with stock tires
Got some used 31 inch tires from a buddy for 40 bucks. They are maxxis buckshots and cleaned it up.
Wheel it all the time but i never think to take pictures.
More Pics
Need a new bumper this one was gashed in when I bought the jeep
Thats pretty much it for now. The other night I was driving home from work and my ujoints failed and my drive shaft fell out so I got to get it fixed. Got the ujoints right next to me just haven't done it yet
Hopefully getting 5 BFG mud terrain on black steel rims soon just waiting on the guy to call me back. After that Im going to be putting some xenon 8000k HIDS in with the new housing for the lights.

Got my new u joints in the rear drive shaft. No more noises from them lol. Hopefully gonna look at the tires tomorrow. The guy has 5 BFG Mud Terrain 31x10.5 on Crager soft 8's with 65% tread left. He wants 350 so I figured this is a good deal until I can afford brand new ones.

Got a 5% windshield strip it keeps the sun out of my eyes but it needs to be further down..
No go on the tires. so im getting the wildcat ext mudders 31x10.5x15 $590.00 for all 4 tires brand new, and mounted and balanced. And the tire place is literally 15 seconds away lol

how'd you get such a good deal on tires? The cheapest DECENT deal I can even find is with the Falken Rocky Mountains (31x10.5x15) at $144 a piece. Then I still have to pay like $40 tax and $65 to balance
