Default Super clean 1997 country build

Heres my new jeep! It is the cleanest xj ive seen, theres no rust on it at all! Its a 1997 Cherokee country, it has 200,000 on the body and 100,000 on the motor and tranny. It has a rc 4.5in lift with full leafs and a adjustable track bar. It has brand new 33x12.50 km2's with mickey Thompson wheels.

It needs a new power steering hose, and needs to be regeared. Im going with 4.56;s since I plan on going with 35's in the future. Other than that its perfect!

15x10's and yea I kinda did too but the 33's didn't like them too good haha they ripped the front ones off so I just took all of them off. Im gonna trim the fenders and hopefully later ill have some custom tube fenders made for them and paint them white

Damn I have seen some clean bodies but seeing the underside of that makes me wonder if it was kept in a bubble.
