from S10 to XJ
Hi guys. First post.
Just got myself a gold 1999 XJ 4x4 4.0 with right at 129,000mi
Got it for a steal of a price with some known oil leaks. Not the rear main and none of the tcase seals. It looks like right now there is nothing major so that's making me feel good.
Wanted a jeep initially but settled and was happy with a 2000 2 door blazer for 3 years.
Now onto my second vehicle and its the one I intend to own the longest.
Arizona vehicle not a spot of rust, body is straight as an arrow only flaw is some minor hail damage on the hood.
I'm a detailer for a Chrysler dealership so I will strive to have the cleanest Cherokee around haha.
I'm excited to go anywhere and everywhere with the "gold bar" and have some pretty big plans.

Yeah I'd say I'm just going for aggressive...its not gonna be up in the clouds but I wanna make it capable of going the places I gotta go to hunt/fish...
Yes the gold bar lol she's gotta Lotta black in her future...
Thinking of a 4.5 lift, black powder coated with maybe a dash of gold flake 17" Rubicon 5 spokes. Tire carrier, off road bumper, can't say which shape and style I want yet...Goodyear duratracs, 32".
Single led light bar and maybe some pods, retrofitted 6054 headlights
First and foremost all the mechanical issues will be addressed before anything...
Full bolt ons most likely have
I know I sound like I talk a big game but it ain't happening over night by any means but sooner or later I will achieve the desired "look"
And yes I understand the jeep wave lol
Have tried it out a couple times and felt the burn of rejection each time.
