Default '95 Cherokee - First Jeep

I have posted elsewhere in the forums but figured I should make an introduction thread. This is the first Jeep I have ever owned. My wife owned 3 and when we started dating and I saw all the issues she had with her Grand Cherokee I convinced her to dump it and move on to an import. Sicne then she has had nothing but imports and loves them and then I go and by her brothers Jeep...haha. I got it for a great price...$800. Has 131,XXX miles on it. Interior is probably an 8/10 and exterior is probably 7/10. I use to detail for 8 years so I will be able to clean it up alot to hopefully get everything to an almost perfect state. I did get it at this price though based on it having some issues. Header is cracked, muffler has a hole in it, end links are trashed (one was completely snapped in half), an oil leak (location to be determined), and I also noticed a small antifreeze leak (have a thread started for that). The Jeep had nothing done to it. He only did oil changes and drove it as a weekend car when needing to run to the home depot for mulch or something. So I got it cleaned up on the inside and got the windows tinted, did plasti dip on the wheels, and replaced the end links. Almost done with the repairs. Here is where it sits now:

welcome to the forum! Sounds like you are already making progress on getting it cleaned up. Clean Jeeps around here are hard to find, I keep mine spotless on the interior and have got lots of comments from others on how nice my interior is. Keep up the good work, sounds like you are on the right track.
