So I'm deciding that I am gonna make a build thread on my 99 Cherokee Classic. It will be a slow build as I am a med student on a pre schoolers budget, but it will be done eventually ( I hope )


Well, I might as well start at the beginning....
I saw this at my local JY and I couldnt resist..


I got it for $55 and then $4 for some scrap steel at a steel place down the street

 

Have you got it mounted?

 

Now for the build..

My grandfather restores classic cars for a hobby and has pretty much any thing a person could need to work on a car, and if he doesnt have it, he will fab it up.

 

yup. I just want to space out the pics so it doesnt get all messy haha. I've got alot more done to it then just this. this thread is about a year overdue

 

tell me that doesnt look intimidating if I just left those like that haha


andddd its on!

 

Hahah oops my bad. I'll let you do your thing then come back

 

added some cheapo lights to it until I can get some real lights

 

 

picked these guys up from RC for $130 I believe. it has been awhile since then haha but I love them and glad I picked them up cause I can use my stock rims and get wider tires without buyin new rims

 

well I just figured out how to add more pics to a post but this happened in January. I was comin home from my grandparents house after cuttin and choppin a couple trees for their wood burning stove, and a woman blew a stop sign and wabam, bald tires+ gravel road= accident.



after cutting it off, we heated and welded it back on and it looks 100% better

 

we ended up straightening the original parts(bumper and fender) and used them instead of the parts I pulled at the JY



this is the bumper installed after being straightened.

 

after about 20 hours of work including the travel time, 30 mins each way, my grandfather and I got her done.



I found this to be quite humorous. I spent a total of $318 on parts and ended up only using the header panel, which was $225 with everything. harness, lights etc..

 

I purchased this lift, an RC 3" Series 2 with AAL's for my graduation present to myself june of '10.


In February of '11, I bought these since I hadn't put the lift on yet do to school and time. These are brand new up country packs that I got for $77 total. I had a $250 gift certificate to Quadratec, so I only spent the $77 outta my pocket


about 20 mins of my time and I added the AAl's to the new packs. I "should" get around 4" of lift since the up country packs add 1"

 

After lookin around and talkin with aj6, I ordered some HID's. This is the Norcalmr2.com 6000k setup with a little extra feature... GREEN ANGEL EYES!!

 

and then about 2 weeks ago, my grandfather and I fabbed up a mount for my firestick cb antenna.




Yes, it is weak, but we made it out of scrap steal that he had layin around and will work on it more once I get some time and get my lift on which should happen tomorrow!!!
