This is going to fun!
I just picked up my '97 Cherokee this past Saturday.
I'm all pumped up to make it my own with my touches and stuff. I just pulled a box of old Jeep magazines and other off-road publications to get an idea of where I'm gonna go with this.
My main focus is DD, then a desert rig that is reliable and fun.
I just sold my 2004 GMC which I owned since driving it off the lot in 2004
I have a thing for Green I guess
Anyway so starts the transformation...welcome to my world hehe
The + side is a very supportive Wife and family

thanks Man,
Yesterday, I adjusted the Liftgate, and took the panel off lubed everything and tightened everything. I need one new rubber bumper on the lift gate, so I'll order those tonight. Crawled underneath for awhile cause I heard a clunking noise, found it, one of the rear shocks upper bushings had popped out. I was going to look into replacing the shocks anyway.
It has a Pro-comp lift on it, research has shown that Pro-comp only makes a 3" lift kit, If anyone knows of a different Pro-comp lift please let me know. I'm c-gonna call pro-comp tomorrow if I get a chance and get the shock specs.
The muffler is showing its age so I have a FLO-PRO V-force that I might put on maybe over the weekend or have one of my muffler people around town do it since I'll have to reduce the pipe down.
Today, I think while I'm working on a couple of other projects that I have I'll Drain the coolant and make sure its all new and the lower Rad hose while I'm at it...we'll see if I can get it all done.

thanks "G"
well coolant done and T-stat changed Didn't do the lower hose It actually looks good I will keep the hose that I bought just in case...
Haven't driven it yet but I bled the system and it seems to be doing good
I just landed a $600 side job, a $100 sale of some stuff and I'm currently working on an ATV and ATV trailer which should land me a couple hundred when done yeha new Bilsteins for the jeep, and a couple of new tires (the tire on the roof is the wrong size, and the right rear is an odd-ball brand from the other three)
thank You Lord!!!
