I got myself a another Cherokee 2.5 5spd gasoline engine, its the facelifed XJ model and its the 5 door, very pleased with it, got some clear headlamps and flat aero wipers fitted, more to come!

The headlamps are the crystal clear ones, looks more modern and gives a better light with the right bulbs.

Well plans are to wire up the side markers to the USA spec, get a few more spot lamps, roof rack or a tire on the roof bars, lift kit, clear turn signals, modular steel wheels and mud tires, induction kit or snorkel.

Any more suggestions would be cool,
