What should I do with my new to me cherokee? fix it, part it, flip it (meaning sell not physically) or other?

for me there is not enough info. What year, how many miles, what's wrong with it, what mods, can you afford to keep 2? Probably some more questions those are just some.

It's a 1991 with 237000 miles, I drove it home so it's drive able. It needs a tcu because I have to manually shift through the gears, it could use some seals probably and the front axle could use new bearings I believe. It's on a 5.5" re lift with a Detroit locker front, welded 8.8 in the rear. Almost new 35s, and possibly more I'm forgetting. At the moment I can afford to have it, but is it worth having? Just seeing what others think about it and what they would do or like to see done.

Any rust issues? Looks like there is a hole in the rocker panel but looks more like it was from a rock.

Keep it and use it as a trail beater

It's got a couple small rust holes, but the "frame" is sound and practically rust free. Maybe some surface rust but not bad.

It would be a hard choice for me. With the new 3 link you got going in, the green one is going to be better off road. But at the same time, the green one is a lot cleaner. Ehh, just keep them both and beat the red one to death, then part out.

SatiricalHen

That's what I was thinking. Beat this one and have fun with it then use some of the parts on my green one and sell the rest. Only thing is I'd either have to register and insure it or trailer it somehow.

I would keep it. Use it as your "don't care" vehicle so to speak

A couple more pictures just because I have them

Dibs on the front frame brace when you part that thing out haha! I am sure my buddy wouldnt mind the RE track bar either.

SatiricalHen

Which brace, it's got like 3 haha the rubicon express one attached to the track bar bracket? I've had people all over the place trying to buy parts off this thing since the moment I bought it. My club I wheel with want practically all of it. Not 100% sure what to do with it all yet.

5-Speed

Ive got another idea. Part the thing out but when you sell something, get the stock part back. That way once you sell all the mods, you still have a stock Jeep you can sell.

The frame brace I want is the one off the track bar!

SatiricalHen

I've thought about doing that, hard part is getting the stock parts from people and it's still not immediate. It would be missing a part for a while.
