Default New to the forums.

First off I would like to extend a big hello to all of the fellow Cherokee owners out there.

Now on for the introduction.

I picked up a 95 Cherokee Sport December 31st 2012 that needed some front end work. It has 198xxx miles on it and runs amazing. Not a bad find for $500. I'm working on fixing up the front end and the last oil leak as time permits then it's on to the fun stuff.

As for me, I'm 29 and reside in South East Wisconsin. I do blue collar work in a shop that I absolutely love with the best bunch of people I've ever worked with. I have a 19 month old son and another on the way that is, surprisingly, due right after my sons birthday. I'm hoping to have the majority of work needed on the Cherokee complete by spring time so I can get her in to the mud and have some fun but it's rough having only 1 day a week to work on her lol. Progress is slow but I'd rather do it right than rush through it and have to spend more time redoing it.

Take your time and enjoy. It can get frustrating at times. Best part is when your on a ride with other rigs and for some reason the Cherokee is always underestimated at least around here. And 88% of the time the Cherokee comes out on top.

Researching everything I need to complete the lift. I found the kit I want but need to decide on which shocks I want before I order. Then it's on to ordering everything else I need to complete the lift.

Going through a vendor on this site. His re kit is cheap as hell so hopefully his shocks are too. If they're too expensive I'll get shock somewhere else.

Eh.

I'm still confused as to everything I'll need to complete the lift other than the kit and shocks but I'm trying to work on a list to get everything organized and in one place for quick reference. I'm going to post the list when I'm done and see if anyone has any other suggestions to add to it.
