Default First Time Jeep Owner

Figured it was time to register on here, I've owned my 2000 jeep Cherokee for about 6 months and this forum has come in handy many times. This is the first Jeep I've ever owned, First SUV, and first automatic. I bought this car for a cheap daily driver until I could build my next project but slowly started to fall in love with the xj and the modifying began.

To give you guys some background, my last car was a Mitsubishi evolution that I built myself from the ground up. Ended up with about 450whp and it was a beautiful car but unfortunately it got destroyed by hail last summer. The jeep is my 17th car?? Or something like that. First time getting into the off road scene but I figured I'd give it a shot. So far the jeep has actually been nothing but problems.

I bought the Jeep not knowing a whole lot about them but after a little research I soon found out this jeep had about every common problem known to xj's. The cracked 0331 cylinder head, rear main seal leak, low oil pressure..the list goes on and on....and on haha. I've made a lot of progress but looks like a full rebuild is in order all ready.

Thanks guys, I'll have to start a build thread soon. I didn't think I was going to take this car too seriously so I'm probably lacking quite a few pictures
