Default New here, My jeep

New guy here and thought i'd show off my jeep. Im 16 and heres what $450 got me to play with.

It was a stock 91 cherokee. put a custom 4-5" lift and picked up some 33's at the junk yard for trading in the stock rims and tires. Custom snorkle and the carpet has been gutted due to being swamped. We've done some more little mods to it since these pictures

Lift and tires on



First time out


Here she is swamped.



I'll be getting some more recent pictures since the ground is starting to thaw!

Oh, its been overheated 8+ time, pulled out silverados and walked over mudhole that a f-150 with 35" BFG's had troulbe in and still runs like a champ!

What size pipe is the snorkel? And do you have any pics of how you routed it under the hood? I made one that came out the fender on my old jeep and I'm looking to go another route this time.

I used 3" pvc pipe i think. attached it at the intake boot on the drivers side under the hood and just cut a hole in my hood. Ill get a picture tomorrow. Those picture were before i added another set of leafs and took the blocks out.
