Hi All! First post!

Although we've owned our '99 Cherokee Classic for about four years now, it's still bone stock with 80k miles. It's gonna be our daughter's first vehicle, and she's wanting it to be a budget SoCal baja style Jeep. That's why I'm registering to this site, as I'm completely clueless to all this 4x4 Jeep stuff. (My toy is a '76 TA resto-mod/PT)

The low-down on what she wants is 3~4.5" lift, Rusty's fiberglass front fenders and rear flare kit, simple light bar on top, some TBD front bumper, and any other little upgrades/add-ons we can come up with over the next year. Any and ALL input is welcome at this point. Although it's not likely what most of you are into, she's wanting 18"+ wheels with Grapplers or similar tire......form over function.

My first searches will be relating to most-bang-for-your-buck lift kits.

Looking forward to getting acquainted!

Thanks for the welcome messages! Just been perusing threads & links, trying to get an idea of a shopping list, and what to start with. Paying more for less hassle is worth it in my case. In other words, kitted solutions with rock solid reputations is what I'm most interested in.
