Default Just picked up a 60th. Atlanta, ga

Just purchased a 2001 Cherokee 60th Anniversary Edition with 150k on the clock. I was looking specifically for a 2WD for better gas mileage and less weight/complications. Appears to have never been off road....and I plan to keep it that way. Sounds like blasphemy I know, but I plan on having this car for a while and want to keep it clean. Doesn't mean I'm not gonna mod it though, I bet I can make a mean looking highway cruiser!!!

Waiting for my tires to wear down so I can put some 29.5"-30" tires and a 2"-2.5" lift on there. Most likely go with some 245/70/16 General Grabber HTS (LRR Tire), or some other LRR tire to boost MPG. Some IPF 968's and maybe some wheel spacers.









Last picture was right after clay bar, Klasse, and Wolfgang 3.0 (about 6 hours worth of work.

All electronics work, only thing wrong with the entire car is the heat doesn't get any hotter than about 65° while on full blast.

Also, I assume I would be correct if I were to say that most of you are also members of JeepForum. What do you guys think of CherokeeForum Vs JeepForum, which has the greater knowledge base/trouble shooting support/DIY infrastructure ?

Gah that thing looks nice. I'd love to have that XJ.

Welcome from Carrollton, over west of you.

As far as CF vs. JF, each has their own group of knowledgeable members that can contribute and teach you a lot. I don't particularly care for JF most of the time, I stick to older threads here, JF, and especially NAXJA- the North American XJ association if I'm looking for something.

I'm from Marietta! I swear I saw this thing on Craigslist. I remember thinking "there was a 60th anniversary edition?".

Oh nice, didn't know that.

As for your heat, check your coolant level and condition.

Where do you go to school?

I'm at tech school in Carrollton and work in Douglasville.

So you're offering us a place to work in the warm

Work, no. Clean, buff, polish, yes. That hangar is spotless, and oil stains/spots cause unwanted confusion with pilots that may share the space.

Come to Southern Poly.

I mean, KSU... I just want to transfer to Georgia Tech.

What's your major?

I had a friend who went to Gordon a while ago. Where exactly do you live?

It's not a Jeep if it's not leaking.

I have another friend transferring to tech from southern semester after next. Know a bunch of people all over the place.

Not sure I could even get into a tech school with a 3.2 average. I would think Tech schools consider a 4/1 B to A ratio to be fairly mediocre?

Was Biology, switched over to Int Business this past semester. Still core at the moment.

About quarter mile from Atlanta Motor Speedway. Horrible place to live in your mid to late 20's. Just the worst. Women in this age group are non existent, they were smart enough to get the hell out of dodge years ago.

Lol, Southern Poly accepts anybody. It's a really good (and rigorous) school, but that combined with the fact that they only require a 2.5gpa to apply means a lot of people end up dropping out. A lot of people who slacked off in high-school (me) use it as a stepping stone to get to better schools. (like I'm doing. I have a 4.0, dean's list. I love college.)

Don't come here if you ever want to meet a woman though. The ratio is **** and I'm convinced I've met every single girl on campus. There are 38 girls living in my dorm room and about 240 guys.
