Ive been on this forum for a few years (not registered just looking) and finally decided to join and post my build. I have owned 3 cherokees a 1987 xj with 4.0L 5Speed (PUkegoat) trans 4x4 with around 4 inches of lift on 31's
Attachment 354976
had to replace the trans and D35 on the 87

a 1988 xj 4.0L AW4 4x4 all stock was my DD while i delivered pizzas for pizza hut. i got some deliveries that no one else could do because i had a back seat and 4x4.

and now to my current one
Attachment 354978
it is a 1991 XJ 4.0L AW4 4x4 with a blown C8.25 a wobbly D30 up front and rusted floorboards. to start with i bought the jeep for $500 about 5-7 months ago drove it home with about 180,*** miles on her. no issues other than the axle whining since i got her. the door hinge was rusted off so that was first to be fixed.
