I bought my Jeep stock in March of 09, its my first Jeep and I was pretty new to mechanical work and offroading in general but its inspired me to take automotive in college and im thinking of driving out to the Easter Jeep Safari next year as well. I take my Jeep to some local places as well, we have an offroad park near me that just opened up last year and there are some public trails here and there.

I also painted it myself as well, the stock paint was starting to get all scratched off so I got some automotive paint at Napa and panted it flat tan. There is also more info about it in my build thread here https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f46/pr...take-ii-24846/


Plan to add in the future:
Front Aussie Locker
Twin Battery Setup
Frame Stiffeners
AX-15 Swap
Roof Rack
Maybe an 8.8 Swap
4.88 Gears
Also im considering lifting to 4.5 inches, but I want do long arms at the same time so I have to save my $$ up for a bit, i'm happy now though, has enough flex for me.
