Cherokee5.0

I have a 1996 XJ with a Les Schwab 3 1/2" lift and bald 31X10.50R15's on it its a worn out rig. It went thru my whole family from when my dad bought it new in 96 im fresh home from Iraq and im done dabbling im buying 1976 ford fronco 1/2 ton axles next week and thats where im starting. Looking to have an 8.5" lift when im finished as well as a Ford 302 and 5 speed in it any helpful tips are welcome this will not be a quick build but will be my first 4 wheel drive build i have lots of knowledge just not in this topic. Thanks I'll try to update this as much as possible.

The file may be too big or the wrong type. Try downsizing the pic and see if it works then.

Microsoft Paint would be the easiest way to do it. Unless you have a Mac, in which case, I have no clue.

It could also be saved as the wrong type of file, what kind did you save it as? It should say at the end of the file like this:
[*name of file*.(jpeg, png, or bmp)] Those three file types are your best bet.

That's way too big, you definitely need to make it smaller. Then it should work.

Nice looking rig. Did that fender meet a rock at some point?

Dodge dakota several years ago when portalnd had the freezing rain turning onto my parents street at 5 mph not even 300 feet from my driveway after driving 30 miles.

You can probably find the same color fender at a junkyard for pretty cheap. Looking forward to your progress, and definitely looking forward to the possible 302 swap. Good luck with it.
