Hello from Southwest Michigan!
Hello everyone! I've owned my 1998 Jeep Cherokee 4x4 for about 2 months now. She's got 158,000 miles on her, and is in pretty good shape. There are a few things I am going to do, and some things I am going to change over the next few months.... That's why I'm here.
She was looking pretty rough when I got her....
But, since I'm a detailer by trade, that was no big deal.
I took some of the trim off and repainted the fender flares (with Krylon Fusion).
After everything was painted... she got a full polish and wax.
........... Anyways. It should be a fun little project. The truck currently has a 2-ish" lift, with coil spacers and add-a-leaf's. I'm looking forward to installing a 3.5-4.5" lift this spring and changing out the wheels and tires, along with some other little things.

Thanks, Guys. 
My main issue now is that my track bar has taken a crap. I don't know if I can put on a adjustable bar because most of those say they are for trucks with 4"-6" of lift.
But, I don't want to just replace it with a stock unit and have to go back an put a adjustable one on later (when I buy a new lift). Anyone know if a adjustable bar will fit on a mildly lifted (2") Jeep? I don't really care if the axle is a bit off for now... I just need to get rid of this wobble.

Michigan people!
