Lol I have seen 3 Jeeps with my color, limited trim style in the last month. I see the blue is making a comeback in popularity!

A buddy of mine tripped out of my Jeep because he wasn't used to it being lifted and his shoe caught onto the plastic molding and ripped it right from the screw.

I ran through a ton of junk yards and lone behold the last junk yard we try we find a 1999 donor Cherokee same color as mine and same year



And an update on the Jeep. She's doing well!

I ran those for a couple years - they were fantastic in the treadwear and traction departments. I got over 60,000 miles out of a set. There must be something off with his alignment or something if he's burning through those tires quickly...

It could also be that he's burnout-happy.

I'm liking it. It's great how I can basically sit up under my Cherokee to work on it.

I'm planning to get a stinger bumper installed by April.
