Drove it.

And I discovered that one of the PO's of my cherokee got 31" tires on it with out a lift kit... Its got new bigger axles but i honestly dont see a lift kit. Or its just super old??? Any way saving for a 3" lift kit.

From what I can see in your avatar, looks like you have cut fenders.

Fitted a fire extinguisher, after an engine fire horror story I heard, and bolted in a water tight cargo box to stop all my crap sliding around!

Got myself a DD! My dad got a truck and instead of just giving me the bumper off his 94 he called and told me it's yours. He got in 95 with 15 thousand miles and has had it since. Gonna go pick it up and bring it to idaho over spring break.
Specs:
94 Jeep Cherokee Sport
4.0 I6
110k miles
HP D30/ C8.25 3.55 gears
3" Procomp lift with crappy short AAL
Warn Tansfomer front bumper (like mine) with 5 thousand pound Warn winch.
JCR Satge 2 rear bumper

Here are a few photos of it I found. They are old. I will take some better ones when I go get it.

Drove up in the mountains to see if Moody Hill or Kelly Flats are open. They aren't. WTF USFS. I wanted to go wheelin tomorrow.
Drove over 100 miles on what seemed like <1/4 tank, but I think my eyes were messin with me because 40mpg in an XJ is impossible.
I did find a very muddy snowmelted FS road, had some fun and got the Jeep dirty.
