New XJ Owner here
Hey everyone, just picked up my first Cherokee this past weekend. 89 Limited, roof rack, front and rear bumpers, and sliders. The PO had only owned for a few months and it has a CF sticker on it, was wondering if anyone recognizes it??
Well it obviously had the fenders cut on it and the guy stuffed some 33's under there. I wasn't liking it on the stock suspension so I picked up some used 31's and painted the wheels black.
Redid the old saggy headliner with some prairie ghost camo. Pretty simple and straight forward.
Picked up the front components from a RE SuperFlex kit off a member on here, and some shocks from another member.
Putting everything on next weekend hopefully! Doing a bastard pack in the rear and a vatozone full-size lift shackle. I'll post more pics when it's all said and done. Let me know what everyone thinks! Also forgot to mention it's updated to an open cooling system and has 784 injectors in it. Anything I need to watch out for??

I'm sure I've seen that XJ with the high cut and plated rear quarters. Nice headliner! Anything to beware of in the removal and reinstall?

If you're talking about the headliner, nothing at all man. Super straightforward haha first one I ever did. Just take your time. I used 3M Super 77 adhesive and a flat paint roller for painting corners and such.. just make sure you don't pull the fabric too tight on the edges because it will make it harder for the adhesive to set with the tension. Any questions just PM me

PO really hacked the rear inner fenders up so a buddy and I got to work on making some sheet metal ones.. Turned out nice and now I don't have to worry about throwing stuff back there and having them rust out!
Also throwing 4 light tabs on the front of the roof rack and two on the rear. Going to splice into my reverse lights in the back.
