I,ve been bummin around on this site for years now and just finally decided to find time to make my own build page.. mostly just because i think it would be neat to see how things go and be able to look back and saw wow.. from 4x4 station wagon to now. i have a few random photos that i need to try and organize so bear with me

bought this one for $900, 93 cherokee sport 4 door, 4.0 HO, Np231
(this was roughly 2 years ago.. maybe 2.5

first spark plug change, when i first got it... i had to drive it about 25 miles and it took 3 or 4 stops on the way to keep it from overheating... it was shifting awkwardly(bad tps), trying to overheart because of the tps as well.. and had a front brake locking up every time i touched the brakes.. took an hour to go 20 miles lol, also didnt have a good inspection or correct plates etc etc... did what i had to though

got some 33 bfg ats!







recently went somewhere in blackstone,va.. those pictures are in my profile albums.

now that some of the old stuff is up.. going to take pictures up to date and post them today... continue on with the jeep! i have a ton of plans for this thing, some are crazy and i know will never happen but a few are realistic. i.ll probably need some advice, or at least comments about my options and products that are available out there. this whole adventure has been a minimum budget project and itll probably stay that way lol. i'll post what i have currently in a few.. trying to either finish/corect my 3.5 or whatever it actually is lift or go ahead and go 4.5". youll see what i mean when i post the currents lol

my next move is going to be to get a new track bar for sure.. im thinking about the one from iro double shear. mostly because its adjustable to fit small and big lifts, which will save money for when/if i move to 6.5.

i know i need rear shocks..theyre a must because im running some blowns that came off of something else. i would like to get new control arms as well. also want to get new leaf packs and ditch the blocks/save em for bumping it up to 6.5 or 7.

just cant decided if i should spend the money on a few things or just say screw it and get a 4.5 kit and start over. only catch there is the driveshaft.. i could take care of it no problem but idk about the cost at the moment..plus i'd have to modify it again to go higher right? i can spend around $500. problem is there are too many damn options lol
