time to start my build
 

Guys, I have owned this 98 XJ since 2000...it had 49,990 on it when I got it. It now has 334,331...its time to build it.

this is what I hope to work toward...I saw this xj at a jeep show here in Ohio. 3" rough country and some really cool bushwacker fender flares.

DAMN almost 350k?! I got an 00 but with only 68k on it. guess if i take care of it she'll have a lot of life!

wow and i thought my 225k miles was up there!! looks like a good start i love seeing these very base model jeeps get built up

Looks good. Since you have so many miles on your Cherokee I'm assuming you have another vehicle to drive so you can mess with your Jeep more for fun. You've joined a nice site as there are many knowledgable and helpful people here. Welcome to the site! :thumbsup:

Went shopping yesterday at 4wheel drive hardware...I live close enough to go get stuff.

RE 3.5"
JKS quick disconnects

Bushwacker flares
(didn't have enough $$ to get the flares...my lovely wife stepped up and said " get them...the deal is too good") She's all mine Boys...a real keeper:thumbup:

They are having an up to 20% off sale this weekend and with the additional $50.00 mail in rebate with bushwacker...it comes out to about $310.00 on the flares.

Scheduled to start next Saturday...man am I excited.

my toy box of parts awaiting the build.

very nice man

Awesome man, congrats. Take lots of pictures.

Been under the xj with big can of liquid wrench soaking all nuts and bolts getting ready for Saturday.

While poking around I decided I would oil up any rust...found some on the bottom of the doors and soaked them down.

Wow..That's alot of miles..Before the weekend give the suspension another coat of oil/PB blaster..I can't wait to see the progress pics..

If all goes as planned this will be the last time this kit rides inside the XJ...wish me luck. Tomorrow I hope to post the install pics.

nice color!!
