New Cherokee Owner - Northern VA
Hey Guys,
I have been looking for an off road project to wrench on for a long time. I finally chose a cherokee due to its rabid fans and boards like this that are so supportive and have all the knowledge in the world. I am really looking forward to be part of the community.
Important stuff:
I just got dirt cheap a 1987 XJ limited, inline 6. It sat for 10 years, but was recently got up an running. I got it for a couple hundred bucks, because I want to go through and get it going nice. It's going to be my outdoor/winter vehicle. It runs, 4x4 works and the electrical seems to work mostly. Locks don't work, no radio, no ac, and runs really rough (which I haven't figured out if its a fuel injector or just old ****ty gas). Also, need to bleed the brakes. I am going to be using your guys knowledge extensively.
Happy to be a cherokee owner!

Any major plans for getting into offroading? post up some pics man and start a build thread
You will like it here alot. I have been on alot of automotive forums and this is by far the best one I have found overall. Good people and the forum runs very well. best part is how easy it is to upload organize and post pics
