Gave my Jeep some love this weekend
« on: April 08, 2020, 05:36:48 PM »
Gave my Jeep some needed love and TLC this weekend. I replaced the suspension with a 4” lift, new springs, control arms, track bar, shocks etc. Replaced the skid plate, fuel pump and rhino lined the whole unibody. Front spring perches were toast so I fabbed up some new ones. Everything came out good. Checked the alignment on the machine and everything was dead nuts including the track which I totally eye balled ;) I'll put some bigger sneakers on it once I wear these ones out.

Awesome looks and stance of your Grand Cherokee! Reminds to help my cousin installing the skid plates, m608 toyo tires and led light bars on his Wrangler project.

Thanks. I'll be putting some bigger tires on it soon. I figured I'd melt these ones down first. Jeeps are fun and it's a great commuter vehicle for my needs.

Awesome looking Jeep and nice upgrades. I have a 98 2 door XJ myself. Cherokees are excellent all round vehicles

Thanks. I worked at a Jeep dealer for a few years and always liked them. My buddy just sold his cream puff 2000 XJ that looked like it just left the showroom. I was tempted to buy it but he got his asking price which was far beyond what I would have paid.

They definitely hold value pretty well. But alot of people are just nuts when buying or selling them for ridiculous prices
