ok..so i got this cherokee for my 17 birthday.. it was a gift from my dad after i wreck my first car mazda mx6...then i had a scooby "subaru impreza" and i got tired of car payments.so my dad kept the subaru and trade for a tribeca and i got a JEEP....

its a 1999 jeep cherokee 4x4 4.0 8.25 in the back d30 in the front hp...

this is how it started...it was stock....which i do not have a picture...sucks...but you know how they look...then it jump to this...

4.5 and 30s




then i decided to jump to 4.5 and 33s...with out trimming.


didnt work to good...so i trim the fenders and at the same time i got 1.5 spacers inthe front and 1.5 teraflex shackles in the back...

then i sold my 33s and i got used 35s..



the main plan of this xj was to get an 8.8 or a rear 44 of an xj...and regear,arb lockers and be done with it...but..you know its hard to stick to a plan...

a long the way i got a snorkel,rhino line the interior, throthle body spacer, k&n intake...and thats it...

last time i went wheeling i broke my front housing...

here..:



and the lower control mount...



so i over did it...

it was almost 400$ to get new housing...so i said... 44 time!...and since then..it has been a half *** jeep.....

now this build is only depending on a few things...

1)money
2)me finding a better job
3)finding a D.D so i can tear this apart and upgrade
4)if my dad sponsor me some money ...


i dont have a due date...but it should take about 6 months ..or a year ..or a week if i hit the jackpot...
