Ok well I got my 2001 Jeep Cherokee Sport in October of last year with the intent of never wheeling it. When I got it the windows had a problem where they would only go up with the driver controls. I looked up the problem and google took me to this website. I joined that day and fixed the window problem the next. Since then I have been doing almost everything on my jeep myself. So here is my build thread, hope you enjoy it.
This last pic is the only pic I have of when it was stock (the day I got it actually). The first one is with the nerf bars I got off clist for 40 bucks. Me and my girlfriend sanded them down, primed and painted them black. The second is the bars a bit closer and you can see my bleach white trim. And the third is my CF stickers Sorry about the disorder of pics, thats the way they were uploaded |

The first week I owned it I got a new head unit (no picks), I wanted it so I could listen to my iPod.
Then Christmas came and I got new speakers and a new Thule roof basket and bike tray. Here are some pics in the snow, you can see the roof rack in a couple of them. You can also see in the first pick that I used the duplicolor truck bed liner spray can to paint them black. The night I took the pic in the dark was the night I drove an hour on the highway in 2 inches of snow to get home at 11 PM. I was in 4WD in the whole time, and I was so glad I had my jeep cuz if I was in my old car (ford contour), I wouldn't have made it home. |

The next thing that I had done was have the rear springs replaced cuz as you can see it was sagging pretty bad in the back. The reason I didn't just get a lift with full packs is cuz at this point I still wasn't planning on offroading with it. This is before I had them installed

These pics are after I got it out of the garage. I know, I know it was in the garage, but this was something I was not prepared to handle, with the bolts being seized and all. But it looked much better and I road better too. Oh and I also got new Crager Soft 8's for my birthday.

Here is the pic of the new fog lights I put on. My stock ones didn't work and I got these for 10 dollars each at walmart. Then I wired them up to the stock fog light wires. This took longer then expected cuz the stock wires were green and black. And like any reasonable person would think, I thought that the black would be ground. Well it wasn't so I just rewired the wires and it works great.

At this point my corner plastics started to get on my nerves cuz they were all faded, so I bedlined these as well.

Now this I where everything changed for me. THis is a pic of the aftermath of my first wheeling trip. Not much of a trip, only like a half hour, and it wasn't hard (never had to take it out of 2H), but boy did I love it. That was the day I knew I was gonna lift it and take it to rausch next year.
