Default Its official, i am now a proud Jeep GC owner!!!

I introduced myself https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f8/pos...e-few-s-39215/ already so this is just to say HOORAAYYY! i bought it. Yes there are a few issues i need to take care of asap, but i got a sick deal on it! Guy wanted $2900 and i got it for $1500. Its a 1995 Grand Cherokee family owned since new with 110,000mi on it.

Problems:
1) Tie rod/Drag link bent, like someone hit a concrete bump stop or something with it. Probably just needs to be replaced which is why the steering wheel is off
2) AC doesnt hold charge and i cant get it off of floor blower?? Any ideas?? I did read how the evaporators suck on these, but i am prepared to get my knuckles dirty
3) will need an exhaust, but i have an idea for that
4) Intermittent wipers don't work and the rear wiper doesnt work.

Plans:
1) Fix above listed problems lol
2) AR-767 black steel rims (picking up tomorrow!!!)
3) Decent set of A/T's, not really going to do any off roading
4) Lift Kit, have no idea what to get, no more than 3" Don't know if i should go with a body lift only or maybe a 3" rustyz or rough country. Any help on which lift kit i should get would be greatly appreciated!!

pics will be up tomorrow!!

didnt get a chance to take pictures today, but went to a local junkyard and got a front drag link bar, steering stabilizer bar, matching rim for my missing spare with new tire, BRAND NEW headlights,corners and lower lights, factory Infinity gold radio, rear wiper motor and spare tire cover. all for $175

I might go back for the full leather interior, but im not sure. i think i made out pretty well
