Hey all, how's it going...

I just recently bought my first jeep, if you couldnt tell from my sig, its a 2001 Limited Cherokee .

I used to drive a 2000 Ford Exploder, with a small lift and 31's, but it was dying and my friends were pushing me to 'get a real offroad vehicle'...and well, I've always liked cherokees. I am very happy with it so far, except for the fact that its still stock, ha. Glad to be here, and I cant wait to check out what everyone has done to their rigs. Hopefully Ill get some good ideas for mine.

Sorry in advance for any stupid questions, Im learning!

Welcome to CF from COS!!

IMHO, you could prolly do all the trails in your "stock" XJ that you did in your lifted Exploder!! Don't worry about stupid questions, they don't exist here at CF!! Read Blue's sig, it says it all!!

thanks everyone...

and my explorer was actually a decent vehicle. performed as well as an IFS could. only thing i really did not like was the electronic transfer case. I actually kind of miss having the option of doing a body lift, but its all good, i have 2 solid axles! And an 8.8 swap in the rear is definitely in the plans, so Ford did at least 1 thing right on the exploder!
