Default Colorado, 1st Jeep!

Hello everybody.
Name is Clay.

Just traded a 1977 GMC Sprint straight across for a 1992 Jeep Cherokee.

Not sure what all it has other than a cold air intake, home-made hood scoop, header and the wheel wells have been cut to ****.

Seem a bit squirrely while driving it, brakes are a bit spongey and occasionally it will squeel the tires when taking off from a dead stop.

Not the best lookin' beast, but bought it as a toy anyway, plan to paint it camo before the snow hits this winter.

Any suggestions on what to do first or what important areas to check other than oil?

Hey Clay. First get those spongy brakes checked out. They can check the steering and shocks while you're at it. Lots of places do a free inspection.
