my first cherokee, and my first vehicle period!!
i just bought a 1995 Cherokee Sport, with a 3.5in lift, sittin on 31's! power everything, and a sun roof. it has the 4.0 in it, it has 108k only. it has a custom Catback exaust by Borla, and a Borla Header, an $800 alarm system, due to a bad neighborhood.. all of this came with it when we bought it.
the bad: it has rust, and it has a cracked block at the passenger side motor mount, (the guy sold it to us with out telling us, it was found by the local shop) and it was welded up by the previous owner, so we JB-Welded it, and Permatexed the threads, cause oil is also leaking out of the bolt hole. it has some bad switches and the rubber spacers in the front differential are are a little loose.
please stay tuned to my thread while i ask questions, and do some work to it... it will get a new motor and accessories along the way!!
here are some pics.

stereo goes in tomorrow, we ran the engine today, and it is still leaking, so we will patch that with JB-Weld and try again monday, fyi, we aren't doing the JB-Weld and Permatex idea for a permanant fix, just until we get a new motor... but i'm glad it's kinda starting to come together.
