Nothing-2-Deep-4-Cherokee

Hey y'all! bout time I get some money to finally start my own build thread. To start off I am a senior in high school looking to build up my jeep, it is my daily driver and my weekend warrior! I've had my 1999 cherokee for about a year and half so far. Runs great 176000 miles on her. Replaced most parts that go bad, probably put 1200 bucks into his since I got it. Its not the perfect jeep. body has scratches and few dents and what not. But its a JEEP!!! what do you expect. As of right now has 2 inch blocks and spacers. Looking to eliminate them as soon as possible!! pictures to come!

Been pretty busy with school and work lately! but here is what I have done in the meantime! I received my zone off-road lift kit. And I have plans on taking it to Auto class to do the lift. But I started to do the front shocks at my house. Got my front shocks installed and toke my jeep to auto class the next day. The front end toke 30 minutes to complete! the rear lift was another story! Both of my rear main leafs where broke in half so I had to buy some new main leafs then I built my leaf packs. Had to cut all 4 leaf bolts. I bought new ones. And rethreaded the threads for the front leaf bolts! Here are some pics of the lift and the jeep before the lift kit was installed

Then my jeep with the 3 inch lift completed. Also prepped my fenders to be cut. Added 4 KC lights with a light bar. But I'm thinking about building a roof rack with light tabs built into it and eliminating the light bar, I'm not sure yet. What do you guys think about it so far?

Looks good so far . Thank god I don't live up north anymore. You need to get in good with the auto body guys at your tech school and get a handle on that rust before it turns in to car cancer.Depending on your tire size You may not need to cut your fenders right away. Also if you want to get the most from your lift if you don't already have them invest in a good set of sway bar disconnects like the ones from jks.That is what I will be running .

Lookin good so far man! I got my XJ 8 yrs ago when I was a senior in hs. That's when my project started and it still hasn't ended(never will). Like mentioned before you might not have to cut your fenders for the setup you are looking at now. I cut mine, its not too hard but make sure its what you really want to do... hard to go back
