So first off this is my first ever job. I chose the Cherokee because it is easy to customize and if something breaks parts are everywhere. So I bought this baby for 900 upon being stationed in cali. Here's some pics

I did a lot of research before buying trying to find one with a Dana 44 but couldn't and this one had some electrical problems that took a while to solve.... So 3 days and 12 shorts later everything works. As for another SOCAL xj, yes NAS lemoore, CA

Just to update I am currently in the process of dropping the trans to replace the clutch and am seeing a lot of rigged up vacuum lines and electrical so redoing that also. Pics will be up soon.

Ok so it has been a month and still working on clutch problems along with 4 stitches in my hand for wrongful cutting technique. Yet Monday I will post my 2 axles I scored for 900 dollars. I believe ox lockers and a d44 and d30 with 4.88's already installed call for a celebration of just being in the right place (well 30 miles south) at the right time to get a good deal. I'll post pictures Monday night after pickup!
