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
I came across a great deal on a set of 31 10.5 15 dayton timberline m/t's that are like new
I also ordered some 15x8 4" backspace craiger soft 8's

the wheels sitting next to the stock height
the front end just about done
Done at 12:30 last night...
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
