Default Oklahoma Dude with his first XJ!

Hey Guys,

Got a 1998 Jeep Cherokee Classic Black on Gray, absolutely love this Jeep!

Pretty much stock, all I've done so far is put an Alpine Head unit in it, rebuilt the front driveshaft,and put some Firestone Destination A/T 30x9.50's on it.

Not sure what the future mods will be yet, that's kinda what I need help with.

I want to daily drive it around town, maybe lift it a couple inches.

I do want to add some lights and maybe a rack/spare tire holder up top.

Let me know what you guys think, I'm open to opinions

Great Site by the way! Some awesome XJ's on here!!

nice jeep leave your spare in the trunk... unless it is to big to fit in the holder... just my advice... light on the roof go for it... nyou could also add the factory fog lights in... they are cheap on e-bay...

Spare is full size and won't fit in the holder, may just leave it behind the rear seat. Good call on the factory fog lights, I'll be ordering those asap along with an HID kit. Thanks for the advice.

if that is your tire size it should fit in there no problem... you put the bar through a lug hole and tighten the wing nut tight... you might need a washer..

Worked perfect, just had to play with it a bit. The wheel well was jacking it around a little. All fixed, thanks for the advice!!
