I bought this 1997 jeep cherokee to build as a back up for when my jk is broken from wheeling at windrock or when were building the jk, anyway this beast was a 500.00 dollar craigslist buy, had a blown piston in the engine with shrapnel hanging out of the oil pan. it just happens that my nephew rolled his zj totaling it, I paid to have it towed to my place and gave him a hundred bones for the smashed jeep. great running engine.
We pulled the engine and sold the rest to the scrapyard at that point i was in the plus on this thing 50 bucks, that wouldn't last long!
see im a gearhead have been all my life, I am also extremely picky about the things I do to vehicles, which ends up costing me a fortune.
so here's what it looked like when I got it, the xj had a lift kit in it from rustys off road, I found a receipt in the glove box for the install, the kit consisted of coil spring spacers and rear shackles it also had lift coils and add a leafs giving it enough room for some huge 31's
it is a tennessee xj so no rust.
