Default Introducing my Jeep

Hey all I have been using this forum for a knowledge base for a while now and not posting much (thank you to all the people posting great advice on here) but I am starting into my jeep more heavily now and wanted to introduce her to everyone.Name:  phot1o.jpg

This is my jeep now: '99 cherokee sport, 4.0, AT, 280,*** miles.

Just hit a deer and had to replace the radiator passenger fender grill....no bumper yet.

I live in MA not really into extreme off roading, always wanted a "capable" jeep, as she is and will be my DD for a while.

Welcome to CherokeeForum! Looks like you have quite the project there. Its crazy how it never seems to end (with mine at least). Just one thing on top of another.
