Hey guys,

So i'm on my 2nd Jeep and I'm actually building this one up. I'll be posting pictures later tonight on what I've done so far.

But here's what I got. a 1997 Jeep Cherokee SE 2 door 5 Speed with 95K original miles.

I live in Mooresville, NC So I have some wheeling spots around.

Best thing about it being so damn bone stock is nothing is broken on it. Worst thing..is Im adding everything haha.

So far i've added the full Overhead Console to it with all the sensors. I've also added Factory Fog lights. Also added Full instrument cluster.

To Do List:
I have the parts from a KJ to do Disc conversion
4.5" Rubicon Express Lift is on its way
Plan on tossing 31" tires on there.

I have someone to custom build these for me lined up:
Rocker guards. ( I like Stage 2 & 3 style)
Front Pre-Runner Bumper & Rear bumper.

Contemplating adding Power Heated seats & Power windows & Locks...But I know with those comes things to break when im Wheelin.

If anyones got any suggestions let me know, or if your in the area looking for someone to wheel with.

 

I forgot I had this...

So here is what I have done. I'll Add pictures soon I promise.

I've done some myself and some BT Blue Ape Automotive in Hickory NC. They are super nice, cost is excellent, and work fast.

Like I said I have pica for the most part all the way threw. I'll add what I can.

I did the body harness, power windows and locks for the 2 doors and rear hatch. I wired the radios in myself. Did the fog lights and steering myself too.
Bumpers, lift and bushwhackers Blue Ape did.

Bumper, sliders and winch should be on within the next 2 weeks.

Ask any questions!!

Always looking for people to wheel with

 

Looks like I'm adding 6.5" RC coils up front and N20Jeeps flex control arms.

 

Saw where you posted in there, he does good work. It's awesome quality. Check out his build and the one he is doing for the scrambler. At 6.5" I would go with drop brackets or long arms for ride quality fwiw

 

Yeah I'm waiting to hear back from him. I'm gonna toss up pictures today/tomorrow of what I have. Done so far.

I already have the control arm drop kit...unless he can make me a long arm bracket as well....I'll see what he says in pm's

 

Got my windows in...installing them tomorrow

 

Wait wait u love in Mooresville ?????

 

*live sorry

 

Sounds like a sweet build. I would love to see some pics of the overhead console install.

 

Looking for pictures of when I installed it? or it complete?

 

I technically live in Statesville, which is one exit north of Mooresville. Why you live in NC too? (your profile indicated Holly, MI)

 

Both if you have them!

 

Ya I live in holly but I have some friends that live in Mooresville and they drive jeeps

 

No pics?

 

Ah so sorry I'll post my album when I get home. I'm driving from work
