Default Newbie XJ owner

Hey guys I have an 87 Cherokee and ive just joined your team! This site is awesome and I thought I would show my whip and try to make jeep buddies. Ive always owned imports and have always been low to the ground. I got tired of driving low in the indiana snow so I traded my acura integra for this wonderful jeep! It needs a ton of work but I am pretty good with cars and I think I can make this thing look good! Ive had it for a few months and already ive started on a few things. On with the pics!!
Enjoy!

This rear tire is the spare! I need another jeep rim or just get new rims

Need a new grill. Its missing around the lights. And im not too sure I like this Range Rover Brush guard. I thought it was gonna look cooler. I might be removing it or cutting off the parts that cover the lights.

It has a ghetto lift lol My buddy owns a junkyard so I went through his property and found thunderbird front coils and then I ordered 3" blocks for the back. IM looking into a new suspension right now. My front shocks are blown due to the lift lol I think I want to stay at 3" lift.
