Default my new xj addiction

Picked up this 90 cherokee beginning of summer >ENOUGH SAID!
I am fully hooked now.All the upgrades soon to come,but as stock with 220,++ miles we enjoyed the whole summer camping,and enjoying the outdoors.We quickly put on an additional 3000 miles since purchase.
A big thanks for all the info on this site.It wouldnt pass emissions.I read all the posts...problem solved.The day after passing emissions,no fuel.Again read all the info...NEW fuel pump,problem solved.I changed all the fluids,axles lubed,bearings torn apart ,inspected replaced as ness.
Old dry rotted tires first order of business..It will be getting a 3" lift,and a front end rebuild before enjoying the upcoming holidays.
Thanks to all for the PRICELESS info on this site!!!

They hum a liitle on the road but dont scream at you.Thay handle a lot better on/off road(forest roads) no real wheeling yet.We will see how they do in the snow soon enough.I really dont know how they compare to others, but time will tell.The price on these was unbeatable,235/75/15's forceum muddders btw..little big-lookin tires
