Hello everyone. The kids are growing up fast and I decided I needed to find a larger vehicle for everyday use. Well......I'm making the transition from a CJ7 as my daily driver for the last 10 years into a 2000 Cherokee Sport.........and I'm loving it.

I picked this up last week for a great price after searching for a clean and affordable XJ for a while.




Here was my daily driven CJ as I picked it up 11 years ago:



and after an intense summer rebuild 10 years ago:




This looks like a great place to hang out and I look forward to interacting with you all. I'm sure I'll have some questions along the way so thanks in advance.

 

like the cj7...welcome to CF

 

Thanks. It was a labor of love. I replaced the frame and obviously the body, fenders and windshield frame as well. I don't want to take on a challenge like that again for awhile, not enough time in the day anymore.

 

Very nice looking Cherokee

 

Thank you. The previous owner did a great job at keeping it waxed and spotless. I did notice some tiny rust spots forming but those will be addressed in the summer.

 

Welcome to CF from Texas! Very nice XJ, and that CJ's nice too, now go get some mud on er!

 

Welcome from Wisconsin.

 

Welcome from TEXAS...

 

Nice rides, specially the CJ. Looks great.

 

Very nice Jeeps! Welcome to the forum. What are your plans for the XJ?

 

Thanks for the warm welcomes.

Plans for the Cherokee are minimal right now. It has a 2" BB already with 30" BFG AT's which is fine with me. I am working out some of the "bugs" right now. Things like nonworking rear windows, speaker not working, a leaky radiator and a few other items. (new 3 core radiator from The Radiator Barn should be here Monday )

This will be my daily driver so I have no major plans as of now other than general maintenance and repair. Compared to the CJ7 it is replacing this is like driving a Cadillac. It's a world of difference and the kids love it too. I think I made the right decision to pick up the Cherokee.
