Default Back in a Jeep.

I've been into jeeps for quite some time, almost had my hands on a newly restored 84 CJ-7, but that fell through and numerous other Cherokees.
Finally found this one for 400 bucks off an older gentleman down the street.
It needs floor pans, and now it needs a rear, because the current Chrysler 8.25 decided to go bad on me.
I'll more then likely be posting a project thread in the next few weeks when i get parts together. I'm 18, and have had various other trucks, but nothing has impressed me the way my Cherokee has.
It's power, the places it can go, the reliability, how quick the heat starts working, gas mileage isn't too bad either.

Well enough of my jib-jab, here's some pics.
It's a '96 Cherokee Sport, with 240k Miles on it.
Runs excellent, and the interior is in fairly good shape.






Let me know what you think.

and this seems like a great board.
