Thumbs up New from Round Rock TX

Well, finally found me jeep after looking for awhile, and in my budget. Should pick it up by friday when my funds get transfered hopefully no one picks it up. Its a 91 cherokee that i will make a trail rig, it does have almost 250k miles on it but it drives great, shifts smoothly and the 4x4 works well. He said he didn't over haul the engine but he bought it from the org owner that drove it up to 180k miles. I think its been done. All the other jeeps I drove were slugish. SO guys let me know what i should look at and do. I love do cheap how Too's. Im low on funds for a bit so it will be cheap and free mods for now. Its got a 4.5 rustys lift and he is running 33's. I think i might be doing some fender trimming and sway bars disconnects. Let me know what else you think. Feed back is welcomed, I will post better pics once i take delivery of the jeep

Thanks

Oh yea I getting her for $2500

Vent visors, keep rain out with open windows
Hood vents, keep the heat flowing out of the engine
Remove the rear sway-bar if it hasn't already been done, more flex, no negative to it
Bored throttle body, gives it a little more pickup, at least it worked for me. http://store.valueweb.com/servlet/je...-C-62mm/Detail

sounds good,

I picked it up today, he also thru in a dual core radiator. I does get hot under that hood I noticed. I was also told i need to wire a switch up for the ac fan, so i can turn it on whenever. I also notice that the rear hatch is a little loose, going to see if i cant adjust the stricker a bit. so the sway bar wont hurt if its not on. Cause i want to drive the jeep on the road to the trails.
