Just bought a 91 Cherokee with a rebuilt head and 183,000 miles. She's in very great condition but she's my first car and I need some advice on what to do first. Replace some ****? Lift her? Help me out

 

First make sure that she is mechanically sound ( not gonna blow up on the side o the road or trail) then its really up to you and you wallet. A mall crawler , rock crawler, trail demon it's all about you and your rig and what you want regardless of what others say

 

We will help any way we can with advice and B.S. lol

 

What's a good way to go about the mechanically sound part? She's got a new head, clean oil, no leakage, starts up every time, that kinda ****?

 

Ya, brakes u joints transmission fluid ( flush or change ) front and rear diffs air filter fuel filter. Check all that and it it should be ready for just about anything

 

First thing I would do is a fluid change. Change the diff fluid, oil, trans fluid and the coolant. Replace the air filter and check the brakes. After that, make sure she runs smooth and you're pretty much set.

 

This has nothing to do with Fabrication, please keep threads posted under their appropriate section.


Moved to Chat.

 

plugs wouldnt be bad as well as the belt. i check all this stuff when i buy a car. plugs no matter what kind they are they get changed and the wires too. just for my peace of mind.

 

thanks

 

The first thing to do is stop calling your Jeep a CAR!

 

flush all fluids
Spark plugs
Dist cap and rotor
I'd do the fuel filter too

Basically a good tune up

 

here's what I would do.
get up to date DMV wise
fix any over heating issues (this probably means replace the radiator)
flush the cooling system
install a transmission cooler
seafoam it then oil change and tune up
clean the engine and fix any and all leaks

then I'd cut the fenders
delete the rear sway bar
shackle and spacer kit and 31" mud tires
weld on some tow hooks
put on some rock sliders
install a lunchbox locker up front
enjoy
