Hey all, I've been a member here for a while just never posted. This site has been very useful thus far. I bought my first jeep, a 2000 Sport back in October of last year. Since then I've done some mods as well as repairs with the help of all the excellent write-ups on this site (rear main seal, front pinion seal, injector upgrade, cowl intake/snorkel, hood vents, and all new u-joints in a junkyard front driveshaft because my slip-n-stub was worn out.)

I bought the jeep with what I'm told is a 4 1/2" Rough Country lift, 31x10.5 Mickey Thompson Baja TTC's on alloy wheels (quickly replaced with black steelies), custom front and rear bumpers and a winch. The winch wouldn't winch in, only out so I just switched the solenoids around so it will now winch in and not out. I'll get around to ordering a new solenoid one of these days. One of the first things I did was put in a BT headunit, I thought I could make it with a tape deck adapter-I forgot how terrible the sound quality of those things were. I then made my own sub box which replaced the spare tire (going for incognito to prevent theft.) I'm hoping to get a friend to help me fab up a swing away tire carrier for the rear. The PO just unbolted the brakelines from the fenderwell so extended brakelines ft and rr are on my to-do list as is an SYE kit/driveshaft and discos for the front. Anyway, enough rambling, here's some pics.

Thanks for this awesome website and all it's members!

 

Howdy from Keller tx, your kinda close to me. But closer to FTHESHACK on here. We all from dfw gotta do a bridgeport meet. I'm going to pm you to be able to save you for future meets if that's okay.
Happy Texas independence day
COME AND TAKE IT

 

Sounds good to me, I've got some friends that would be down as well. Thanks!

Welcome to Cherokee Forum man!

 

FTHESHACK, you very well might. A friend of ours keeps our kids and she lives in The Colony.

 

Welcome to the site.

Welcome, How does that sub box sound? any more pics of the build

 

It sounds really good, now I just need to upgrade the door and headliner speakers, they can't quite hang. I don't have any pics of the actual building of the box, but I've got a few before carpet. I'll post 'em when I get home. It's a 10" Alpine Type S with 500W to it.

 

I just got these with taxes about 80 a pair. They sound amazing.

 

PurpleToxin505, here are a couple more shots of the box. The tire cover fits over it and doesn't really affect the sound. If I'm blasting it loudly for a while I've got to take it off 'cause the amp starts getting hot.

Checked out your build thread. Sounds like you've got pretty much the same set up as me. I was told the lift was 4 1/2 when I bought it but later found out it's actually 3". I just added discos a couple of days ago.

I'll be in the market for new tires pretty soon, how do you like yours?

 

I love my duratracs, actually just got a 32 as a spare for free too. I dont even have sway bars to much time putting it on and taking it off and didn't want to spend the cash for the jks
