Reintroducing...
I've been a member here for a little while, lurked for a long time before that. I had an 89 2 door XJ with a 5 speed 2 years ago, and have wanted another ever since I sold it with a bad trans. I finally picked up another XJ, this time in trade for my 1981 Bronco mud bogger. I ended up with a 2000 Cherokee Sport 4 door with an auto, and have been modifying it since I got my hands on it a few weeks ago. Since today was a decent day out, I decided to clean up the Jeep, as well as my Mustang. Here's the aftermath:
Yeah, I don't have anywhere local to drive the Heep for real off-road flex photos, so you get the Post Office parking lot. Believe me, this truck has already seen mud, and has plenty more to go through before I'm done with it.
Couple shots turned out pretty decent with the 'Stang.
To top off the day, I realized as I was looking at these pictures, that my rear tire was about flat. It so happens that my 335/35/17 Goodyear decided to help clean the road of 3 drywall screws sometime along the way to where I shot the pictures. One being right in the corner of the tire, poking through the sidewall. Looks like the long control arms for the Jeep will have to wait.
For gits and shiggles, here's a shot of my old Bronco. It was a beast.
I've been slowly fixing up the Cherokee to 'my standards', and here's where we are at with it today. So far, I've installed a bastardized 4.5"ish lift, some 31" Mickey Thompson Baja Claws and American Racing rims, exhaust, all needed maintenance has been taken care of, and I threw in a decent system. I have an ARB brush guard and Yakima roof basket on the way, and some lights are in the plans. I ended up ripping off the ding guards, and plan on getting the painted to match bumper end caps and front bumper underfairing. The only rust that was on the truck was the driver's door bottom corner, where the previous owner has sanded, bondo'd, and primed already. It should be pretty fun in the snow.
