JeepCherokeeSport00

Starting this build thread to keep track of all the things that I've done to the XJ since I started fixin' her up. She's a 2000 XJ 4.0 I6 2WD with 169K miles. No plans on lifting this one since it's 2WD and i've thought about the 4WD conversion.

This was my first car back in High School and I didn't do any maintenance or repairs back then. I gave it back to my mom when I went to SF (don't need a car there) for College. I went abroad for a year during College and my mom gave back the jeep Once I got back. Now i'm almost out of college and I do a lot more back and forth from East Bay to Uni (mainly to work on the Jeep at home ). It all started when I went for my first oil change at Jiffy Lube (I know ). Anyways the spilled oil all over the old starter, didn't top up fluids they said they would, and put in some ****ty oil. The starter died a few days later. I bought a haynes manual and got to work. Never again would I let someone touch my jeep that I don't trust.

Radiator flush
Replaced starter
