Default Hello for from the Windy City

Gents (and ladies),

This is my third Jeep. I had a '98 Cherokee Sport and a '03 Grand Cherokee. For the last 5 years it was a '03 BMW X5 that my son decided to alter the dirvers side with the contact of the BMW and a utility pole. Sadly, the BMW is toast. I needed a "new" vehicle for my business anyway so I found a 1999 Cherokee Limited with, get this, 28,000 miles on it. Yeah, its near pristine.

Since this is for my business (I'm making a career change and I'm a painting contractor) I'm thinking mild lift (2" or 3") a jungle rack and my branding. Here's a shot of the Jeep. I'm surfing the forum for good pictures of 2 and 3 inch lifts with tire combos.

That's me and the missus during the transfer. The guys from Mashburn met us halfway from Chicago to Detroit.

Glad to be on board here.

Jeff

Welcome to the forum. I had 31" on 2.5" lift and 31" on 3" lift on other jeep. I would definitely recommend 3" lift

Dang, ~2000 miles a year?! Still have that new car smell? Welcome to the forum, you'll find plenty of pics to look over here, and plenty of info to help decide exactly what you want to do.

I'm leaning towards the 3" lift and 31's 10.5 15s for tires. Just need to pick a lift kit.

Hey Jay_sco, I just checked out your build thread.

Hey, thanks. My build excels in mediocrity, but if you get something out of it then that's even better!
