Got a nice 2 or 2.5 ft crowbar, a pair of vice grips and two ice scrapers/snow brushes in the back, bunch of trash and cigarette ashes up front, and a cracked exhaust manifold (which I already knew about.) Luckily it seems to be in great mechanical shape so far, we'll see when I change that manifold and put my lift on.

The greatest present my father ever gave me. His beloved 96 Cherokee that I "picked out" for him 16 years ago. (I chose the color )

Haven't found anything interesting in my '97 yet but my '92 Mitsubishi 3000gt was curbed twice so all the exterior panels were butchered and the PO had sub and amp hook-ups already ran. Except the sub wires were connected to every ******* speaker. Took about 3 days with myself and 2 friends sortin everything out.

that... sounds like it had a 5 channel amp? 4 outputs for highs and an output for low....

If not, then thats some serious rigging up..

just about every hose and wire in the engine bay had to be replaced plus the power steering pump a motor mount the front driver and passenger seats and i had to install a radio so i could have some tunes. its going to need shocks soon and possible bushing so it looks like i might be looking for a lift kit now

Po painted over the rust and i didnt notice until a few days ago when it all was coming off, also the radio head mounts are broken so the radio moves around freely and only 1 out of the 4 speakers work... Although sometimes 2 will barely work... I just love the mass of tangled wires behind my radio. Gonna e a huge pain to fix :/

When I was taking my driver side door panel off to replace the 16 year old stock speakers, I found what appeared to be a $100.00 bill in the door opening, I got all excited for nothing it ended up being a flyer for some nightclub. I thought that it was funny so I left it in there for the next guy.
