Default Proud owner of an '87 cherokee

That's right, a 1987 Jeep Cherokee Pioneer 4.0L with the winter kit; 235k miles. It's pretty much stock, but I'm modding it at the speed of paycheck. I'm looking for some good places to wheel and some people who know a thing or two about jeeps. As far as what I know, I've done lots of work with modding interior parts and replacing pretty much everything inside. I'll bring what I can to the party. The jeep pictured in my avatar is my baby doll.

1,000,000 miles strong.

Welcome to the forum. Where are you located so we can hook you up with some wheelin' buddies.
Take a minute and go to your profile page and fill out the info about your Jeep so if you have a question in the future we will all have that info at hand. It will appear just below your avatar in a drop down menu format.
Post some pics when you get a chance of your interior mods.

I'm from Colorful Colorado, metro denver area. I'll do a "photo shoot" tomorrow and link up my albums. Really most of the modding I've done is getting this thing back up to 100%. When I first got it, it was barely running. I've been restoring it ever since.

There is a few members in Colorado. Most would be able to show you some trails. They may want you to spend the winter getting your improvements done first then in the spring when the snow lets them they will get you on some trails. Look at our trail section and you will see several are from the state of Colorado.
