Hello names Tyler i live in CT i bought a 99' Cherokee two door back in February for pretty cheap when my old dodge decided 300k was too much for it, New to the forum thing but after all the threads I've read, CF has been a great tool so i decided it was time to join up.

Old dodge guy here too. Sold mine due to the gas milegae(5.9L), but got a cherokee that gets the same mileage lol. My 96 ran flawlessly till 200k (only general maintenance and a tranny rebuild).

Nice I have a 93 dakota 5 speed 3.9l that was reliable as hell, still starts but I blew the t-case into shreds along with needing tie rods, ball joints, a heater core and the doors to actually work it was just to much to repair and not enough time. so I bought the Cherokee as my DD and absolutely love it. Yeah I'm glad I didn't buy the jeep for gas mileage I would be terribly disappointed. Thanks!

Welcome man. This is a pretty good site. Some of the other forums are much much harder on you when you ask a question. Congrats on the buy!

Thanks everyone. Well stats are its a 99 two door power everything and heated mirrors( didn't know jeeps had that) RC 3 lift with AAL should've done full leafs. Removed the front sway bar surcco roof rack with a yj bumper filler as the air dam looks good. Custom intake TB spacer from rugged ridge. BFG ATs 31-10.5. Bilsetin 5100s all the way around. OEM front skid. custom tcase skid and RE steering stabilizer. also have a rock krawler hd tie waiting for me to stop being lazy....That's it for now starting to work on piecing my own 4.5" with full leafs soon along with finding some more skids.
