My first JEEP!!!
 

I have always liked the cherokee, have owned many vehicles but this is my first jeep!!! I am excited and have big plans for her...


I just bought this 1998 Jeep Cherokee about a month ago, 138k miles, rust free!!! $2800. The jeep is my daily driver but i wanted something that looks kind of aggressive! handle nicely on road as well as perform offroad.

It has the typical sagging rear leaf springs so this morning I ordered a 4.5" rough country lift kit with full leaf packs, upgraded shocks, steering stabilizer, transfer case drop. I HOPE I DONT GET ANY VIBRATIONS!!! should be at my house 4/21:biggthump

nice start! keep updated with pics. hows interior holdin up?

passenger side window switch doesnt work, blower motor works only on high, and the rear hatch doesnt always like to open. other than that it is holding up pretty well

congrats brother

I got my tires mounted on my wheels yesterday, my lift also showed up in the mail yesterday! I should be all set to rock and roll installing the lift tomorrow!!!

Nice XJ.
Make sure you update once the lift is complete. I just finished my lift last weekend.

Looking good, post pics after the lift install :rockon:

I got done with it and took it for a test drive, 5 min later I got pulled over for bumper height lol, I explained to him that i literally just got done working on it. He asked me to get out, whipped out his tape measure and the bumper is 27.5" off the ground and the law says it has to be 25" or less. He was nice about it and let me off with a warning! I will just put the trailer hitch back on lol

How it sits today
