Hello, I'm John and I recently got a Jeep. Its a 1987 Cherokee limited 4.0 inline 6, hence my.user name. If I could figure out how to post pictures from my phone I would. It was pink and white, changed pink to green and the body will be metallic blue eventually. Its got higher miles, about 344k and I'm unsure if it had been rebuilt (I plan on doing it regardless). Since I've gotten it, its been a complete love hate relationship. Currently I'm trying to fix the electrical, but that's enough from me. Glad to be here!

Thanks Mike and mods? A ton, I'm from washington so I figured why not do seahawks colors. All of the colors will change, the green will be a different shade etc. I want to use f150 springs and s10 leafs for my suspension. Painless wiring harness and a new headlight harness. Up grade my lights (there so dim I can't stand it). Light rack on roof and good fog lights. Get some really bright back up lights and tint my rear lights etc. I want to get 33'' tires and probably trim some of the finders. Wheel spacers, I'm still deciding on a locked rear. I want to put the H.O. head on my block, the neon fuel injectors. Full roll cage, still need to decide if I'm going to have carpet or not. Going to put my sound system from my old car in it, rockford fosgate speakers (front doors, 6x9 in hatch) and my RE subs with fosgate amp. New rims, new front bumper, probably with a stinger.Its a budget build but I have a lot plans. I'm sure this isn't the end of the list, as I own it I'll add more to it, you know how it goes.
