i bought this cherokee for my wife 7 years ago off a used car lot.i was not alot to modify "jeepy" as i wanted we drove it everywhere as it was our "reliable" car for i have an old shovelhead and we have had numerous old cars.a couple years ago we sold it to a friend of ours and he rearended someone and knocked her out of commission.we were living out in Tucson and i had a 92 bronco i was trailing with.anyway i wanted to get my cherokee back and when we movbed back home i started asking hime what he was gonna do.even offered him to help him fix her.he procrastinated then told me he was gonna sell it off.after a couple monhs i scored her back for 400.craigslisted a radiator new grill fan and fabbed up a bumper and roadsign skidplate.bought 3 inch lift springs in the front and two inch shackles in the rear.the drivers fender was pretty crunched so i decided to just cut all the wheel wells and straighten it best i can.next i want to fab up a rear gate for tire and can and get some $ up for 32 or 33s.its a 4.0 and 5 speed.and i look forward to the info and the rides on the forum.ive been watching for the last month or so since i got her up and going.i also am down to go get in some dirt so im excited to meet some other Texans that want to go out trailing.thanks dusty
