Moving up?

[Howler_GT]

Me and the missus are devout XJ lovers.

Me with my lifted 94 Sport and her with her lifted 91 Laredo.

Well that WAS until recently, after a bad connecting rod issue and replacement of the entire 91, and the 6mo of work that followed: we no longer have TWO XJ's.

Her 91 Laredo has been replaced.
With a 99 WJ

Found this little beauty on craigslist for 2000.
Needed a radiator.



The rundown:
1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited
4.7L V8 with 188,000 mi
FULLY loaded
Leather interior
Heated power seats
AM/FM/Cass/10 CD Changer (Infinity Gold System w/ amp)
Factory sunroof
and tons of other "stuff"

So far what has been done:
NEW radiator
NEW fan clutch
Oil change w/filter
NEW Oil pressure sensor
NEW hood lifts
NEW glass hatch lifts
(2) NEW taillight housings w/ sockets
NEW front rotors and pads
NEW Skyjacker Hydro7000 rear shocks
(2) NEW rear tires (fronts coming this week)
NEW pass. side headlight assembly

TO DO:
ADDCO 1" rear swaybar
Front shocks
Front CV axle boot (d.s.)

Not a bad deal. Rides sweet. Has enough power for HER.

And to top it all off. We put her 91 Laredo out front for sale and 1 week later, sold it for 1200!!! Thusly, making the new one cost 800
Here's the last pic taken of her old 91 (sitting next to its replacement, of course)



HMMMmmmm... maybe the GC has the WRONG name on that front plate.

Getting pretty upscale there Howler.

Ok. Appears I haven't shown my ugly mug around here for a little while.

I thought I would give you guys/gals an update, since I have been spending all my time over at jeepforums WJ board.

I been doing some upgrades to her 99 GC Limited.

Added:

3" IRO lift
Nitro shocks
Full set of Destination A/T's
ADDCO rear swaybar
Hunter Texas classic bull bar
Top line Sony Xplod CD player utilizing factory Infinity Gold amp
Diamond-plate door sills

plus tons of little repairs.

Currently designing a slimline roof mounted light bar.
Looking into replacing the NV247 with a NP242 and ditching the vari-lok axles with a set of standard axles

Here's a current pic



I ordered a pair of FMD MiniMax BullBar Mounts to shift the bar up where it belongs, the road-scraper brackets (just above puddle) are cheaply made and aren't sturdy at all
