Default First time Jeep owner from Oregon

A few weeks ago a Jeep just wasn't something I was looking for but my Ford Ranger finally seen it's last days. I found this 1997 Jeep Cherokee Country online and picked it up. Even with 194,000 miles on it, it drives great and the interior is like new. Amazingly everything still works on it.

Not much was done prior to it except for 30" tires (which rub a bit), and a K&N air intake. I'm not really a off road person but do hit the back country frequently. It's now going to have to compete with a 1942 Ford Truck I'm building for future upgrades. It could use a bit of a lift to work with the tires currently on it and I wouldn't mind new steel wheels with less backspacing to move them out a bit.

Let the fun begin,
