Default How long have you owned your Cherokee?

Decided to start a new thread just to see how long people have owned their Cherokee. Also to see how much they have changed over the years.

I have had mine for 10 years, and it has transformed much over the years How long have you owned your Cherokee?-photo10.jpgHow long have you owned your Cherokee?-photo450.jpg
This is when I first bought it in 2005.

This was in 2006 after I lifted it 4.5 in, put a brush guard on it and put 31 in tires on it.

After sitting for a year or so from 2011 to 2012 the rust really started to eat away at it and I almost got rid of it. I ended up keeping it though and doing a lot of work to it, getting it back to its former glory.

This is what it looks like today.

Same here almost 4 yrs on mine also from the time I bought it with a Junk 3" lift spacers and blocks along with 31x10:50's a bunch of other half azzed done things, price $1800. From the day 1 hauled it home till the last photos taken with a 3" properly done lift in the middle, on to a 4 1/2" lift with lots of extras as it is now but a few more things added. Don't even want to talk about $$$$ invested just to this point and looks isn't a single one.

About 3-1/2 years for me. Thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours working on it. Name:  image-419053315.jpg
