Default New Guy, from Illinois

Hey everyone,

Just bought a 1998 Cherokee (XJ) Sport this evening after looking at turds for the last 2 months. Finally found a nice one

133k, Auto, runs good 4x4 Obviously, and..... its purple. Lol. But hey its clean.


I live NW of Chicago, Just moved back here from Galesburg Illinois (West-Central IL) I work for the Burlington Northern Railroad which takes me to a few different places.

Pictures in the morning!

I also own a 1998 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 with a 5.9L V8 Auto, that I bought in Phoenix and is my baby.

George

Hi and welcome along.

Looking at turd's for the last two months, maybe it's a different thing in this country?
Terminology, makes some words a challenge.
In case you didn't realise I'm a Brit.

Thanks for the welcome guys!

Was gonna take some pics today but ended up at the Junkyard at 8:00am scored some little things the Jeep needed, still looking for factory fogs for my Ram lol.

Installed a new JVC Head Unit that was on sale @ Best Buy, and re-did the hacked up wiring behind the dash, about 6 hours of work, looks clean and factory now.

And LOL by Turd I meant Pieces of (You Know), Crap haha.

One of the first things I did was put in a Sony HD radio. I had Best Buy do the install rather than mess with it.

New girl, Aurora Colorado -bought a 92 a month ago to play in the snow and dirt with. I've been working on it as weather permits (hoping for a nice enough day to come along soon). You never know in Colorado. I'm new at this and hoping I can learn a few things from those of you who are willing to share you're expertise.

Looking back probably would have been a good idea, but at least now I know its right, still have to hook up the driver door speaker the PO cut the wire to it?? Test wired it to the Receiver and it works, who knows lol.
