Default First time jeep owner from the JDM side.

So the name is Mike G. I'm new to the 4wd jeep thing. I came from many years behind the wheel of Hondas and Acuras. I got a 99 Cherokee sport and plan on building a daily driven trail rig/ ultimate mtn bike rig. Hope to be help full on here and to learn as much as possible.Oh and I'm from NH.
THANKS,
Mike G.

I had a 98 Integra and those were still made in japan, hence the J and the beginning of the Vin.
