Default Jeep first timer....

Hey guys,

Just picked up my first Jeep this week - 91 cherokee 4x4.
automatic, 4 liter, 4 door, 31x10.50s, don't know the brand of wheels. Don't know much else about it, but i love it. I'm new to Jeeps, but not new to offroading.

This thing's a little ragged out, missing a few pieces, burns a crapload of oil, and the bumpers are beat to hell, but it's rust free & except for the oil burning it runs & drives good, & i got a hell of a deal.

i'm not sure if there is any lift on it. haven't checked up front, but the back has stock shackles/no blocks & looks original except the shocks have red boots on them...dont know. the 31's have a LOT of room in there, tho.

First is to get a passenger mirror, rear passenger fender flare, drivers headlight bezel & side light. Then ZJ coils/spacers & bastard pack. problem is junkyards are ridiculous around here, after calling around, it looks like $200 + for ZJ springs & s10 leaf packs if i pull them myself.

I'm gonna take it out to the wishbone ranch off road park this weekend & see how it performs the way it sits now before anything tho. Oh, and today the jeep overheated & i found a stupid thick trans fluid/antifreeze mixture in the radiator. So gotta get a new radiator, thermostat & water pump tomorrow. (all on unemployment, yay!)
