Default Hi, first time Cherokee Owner (Lift Pictures)

Hi everyone,

So this is my first time owning a Jeep, bought her for 400$, 5 speed 4l, and I drove it for awhile bone stock, took it up a couple trails, and decided that its an excellent platform for wheeling. I have been building the lift from scratch, minus a couple parts.

Fabbed custom control arms, track bar bracket, sway bar and bracket, coil spacers, new coils, shock brackets, custom bump stops (No pictures yet) drop pitman arm, custom sway bar links w/ discos (No pictures), and a couple other things.

I have not started anything with the back yet, and the front still needs some finishing. (Brake lines) Still contemplating whether to fix a solid yoke and use a cv driveshaft, or to just extend my yokes, and use an angled lift block to angle the rear end.

Money is pretty tight, which is why im relying on fabricating almost everything. Im not building a daily driver here, just a 4 wheeling monster.

Thanks

Thanks everyone, this Jeep needs quite some work, but she is slowly coming to life, hopefully have her done this summer.
