Hey guys I just wanted to introduce myself onto this site. FYI i'm on this site 90% of my time on my phone and have learned many things about the amazing XJ and its quality.
I'm 18 years old and i work part time at FedEx.
So as for my XJ I just bought a 1998 Black Jeep Cherokee Sport with 151,000 miles two weeks ago.
I paid $1400 for it, Don't ask how just get on Craigslist it does wonders!
I bought it with very minor front passenger side body damage and a bad TPS.
The wheels and tires didn't look to spiffy either so i picked up a set of 235/75r15 BFGoodrinch All-Terrains and nice new chrome steelies.
I changed all the fluids (trans, oil, dif, washer, etc..) oh and some new wiper blades.
Also took front bumper caps off, did some minor fender cutting and now shes starting to look pretty good. (:
All & all i have about $1600 in it as it sits now.
I will post pics as soon as i figure out how!
I have many future plans for her (4.5 in lift, 32's, bumpers, lockers, and all that good jazz) but i do not make much money working part-time, so its going to go slowly but surely and she is my DD.
Thanks, Cody

Alright man im in camby area actually we'll have to meet up sometime and go wheel.
Spdkillz thanks, I really like my front fenders but the back was difficult because of the rivets and pinch welds.
I didnt wanna seperate it from the unibody so I didnt cut as much off.
