Well yesterday I picked up a WJ Grand Cherokee. Got a pretty good deal on it as they are replacing the rear main seal and windshield in the deal. Its a one owner, 93k miles, has the original window sticker, and is in very good shape overall. It has all service paperwork in the glove box so I know it was taken care of, and appears to have been in the garage its whole life as nothing seems to be weathered.
Here's some pics:

And because its a Jeep, there's gotta be this shot here:

I have some plans for it. It's getting some wayalife decals first, then at least a 2.5" coil lift, preferably a 4" lift. Then from there its a mystery what I'll do.

Lift kit first. I traded in a built explorer for this and i can't stand how low it sits. Probably will get some headlights, winch bumper, spare tire carrier, yakima load warrior, and other things. I haven't thought it out too much. :)

Thanks guys! This is the first Jeep that I'm actually going to build. I've been building Explorers for my last few rigs, so this will be a whole new challenge. Looking forward to the suggestions and help.

Nice WJ btw, the after market is just starting to get into building parts for these. I think since bushwacker started making flares you'll see more support soon

Any help will be appreciated! We'll have to hit some trails up once I at least get a lift kit on this.

I would love a set of those flares, but the price they want is a bit too much....

Looks good, just picked one up for the wife last month. Same model,color and mileage. Has the 4.7, leather,power seats, 6 cd changer and a bunch of other cool stuff. The only thing I'v done to it is a set of deep dish floor mats, front,back and cargo. Living in West Central Mountains of Idaho, you pretty much need them to save your interior. As you well know in Utah.

Stopped by Fat Bob's Garage here in Ogden and they got me hooked up with a 2.5" lift with shocks. Got some Falken Wildpeaks on order; 265/70/16
