Yet another XJ Build CC TX
Well this is my second cherokee i had one as my first vehicle when i was 16 but it was totaled by a on coming wheel that fell off a car going south bound while i was going north bound and the wheel bounced over the median and hit me. i then got a powerstroke started working in the oil feild and ended up with my new Tundra but i felt like i was missing something in life..
Found this bad boy in San Antonio for $1200 wasnt supposed to make it home as the guy had no confidence in it but $1000 later i was putting air in the tires and filling it up with gas and a $100 battery i was down the road back home. Made it home no problems ran great when warmed up. stutters a little when cold but i can fix it.. 1997 Cherokee 218,000 miles Clear is fadding diff leaking runs a little rough on start up. Interior trim cracked and broken seat trim broken missing dome light, roof interior sagging typical.. carpet gross seats stained.. but hey im happy
Right when i bought it.
Home and in the drive way.
I have already ordered a 4.5 lift 16 D-CUT rockcrowler rims and NITTO TERRA GRAPPLERS 265/75/16
Changed out the cluster Guages to where i would have a tach oil pressure guage and etc got some sending units off of a Grand cherokee and they worked. Also ordered all new LED Cluster lights will post pictures tonight once i install them.
found passenger side seat trim but no luck at the pic and pull for door interior trim..
have a extra cluster gauge out of a 98 and up cherokee if anyone needs one. i hated the dummy lights.
sun visors found out at the local pick and pull 15 bucks for the pair cant beat that look almost new..
well i will take some more pics when i get home and more of the lift and tires when they come in.
Thanks to all that have posted in the build thread great work and awesome ideas!
