Cool The start of a new beginning (lots of big pictures)

so i am not exactly sure how to start these kinda things off! so i guess ill share with you how i came upon my 1989 renix cherokee!

my previous car happened to be a 1996 ford thunderbird <3.it was my very first car and wow we had some stories. But with graduation comes new responsibility and a new start. so i came across an ad for a red jeep cherokee "pioneer" and for fun i texted the guy and asked him if he wanted to trade and well this is what i ended up with!

Right when i got this jeep i had already had big plans for it! My 4.5 in lift was in the mail within a week of getting the jeep! I had also painted the grill, fenders, and hood cowl! also gotten the windows tinted in the time it took for my lift to be at my door! Ten minutes after the boxes had been dropped on my door step they were all packed up in my jeep and we were headed over to my friends garage to get the lift put on!

which required a lot of time, and a lot of torching!
buuuut it was done eventually!

the next upgrade to take over my wallet was new wheels and tires a couple weeks after the lift!

a set of new BFG KM2s with a set of new 15in steel wheels
after my tires i decided to rhino line the bottoms of my doors and throw a gun rack in!


^^^^^^^my bed in back complete with air mattress! what a good nights sleep^^^^

parking next to this guy makes me feel cool
haha!

yeah i have looked for other places but nothing works! the back windows on our jeeps is just so small and awkward, i wanna come up with something that can fit in the rear hatch window.
