I've had two jeep cherokees but done no upgrades.
Crashed one into the back of a prius and the other...
Well I'm going to buy a third soon and was hoping for some advice on what basic upgrades i should do. Here's what I'm going to buy.
1990-1996 cherokee 4x4 inline six H.O. 5 speed 4 door.
All I know is i have an off road obsession and I know I want it to serve as a daily driver as well.

I don't really want to do an axle swap but is it worth it?
What are the basics I should do?
What parts are best?
How big of a lift can I have before I need a slip yolk eliminator?
Do I need to mess with my transfer case?

I just wanna learn more and get a general consensus so I can go do some basic wheeling. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

just so you know the 90 is not a high output

 

Sounds like you may want to start out with a set of some stout bumpers and a loud horn.lol

 

ha ha ha.
and a fire extinguisher

 

Please tell me you killed the Prius...

 

You could start by off roading your xj stock and see what all it'll do stock to see where you need to make improvements. If your wanting a lift a 3" should be fairly simple to accomplish, you should be fine without a sye and fit 31s. Depending on what terrain you'll be driving on a set of rock rails and skid plates could be a good idea, also some solid tow points would be something to start with. If your looking to get a little more extreme then you'll want lockers and the sky's the limit on different mods you can do.

 

 

yeah and my insurance company is still dealing with the lawsuit.
worth it
