HA! Mine's white too. We should start an elitest jeep run group where we oppress non-white jeeps. Yes, I'm kidding.Quote:

Is that all aftermarket? Are they the solid Steering Linkage and Tirerod Bar? Looks great!Quote:

Here is my oldest son and I at the top of Red Cone 4 years ago.

290K - Wow!!
Original engine?
All OEM Replacement parts from Napa. Cheaper than any after market DOM steering kit I could find, hell even cheaper than piecing one together.. Plus no knuckle mods to be done, just bolt on and go.Quote:

Not as strong as going with a DOM kit maybe but this truck wont see hard core trails so I think it will be more than adequate.
Yes sir. The only thing that I've had to do, is a valve job at around 260ish IIRC. The 4.0 engines are awesome. I call them " the Cummins of gas engines". I'm also OCD about maintainence so that helps. The Aisin auto trannies in them are incredible too. It's never had any work done to it other than services.
I bet the hill at the end of Red Cone is a blast on a bike!
Not really. Actually, now that I think about it, it really stinks.Quote:

Nice looking Cherokee's!
I had a White 92 that looked just like your 96.
Well that White TJ I was finally ready to go have a look at already sold. Dammit! [facepalm]
Thanks! They sure have been good vehicles. Our 16 year old son has a white '97 that he'll be getting lifted eventually.Quote:

I got mine on Craigslist for cheap! It was brand new in the box too. It was cake to program for the tire pressure. It also does extended idle, daytime running lamps, and some other basics.
Wish I could get that for my CherokeeQuote:

My rig is going back under the knife on Wednesday to add a hood hoop and tie it into the front stinger. Should look great and add more protection up front. Stay tuned for pics! When we are going out again?

I sure do. You just let me know when you want to get it done.
I can do it anytime, I will have to pack up some tools and get em over there..... What is best for you?Quote:

I'm down with that. Hold the beer for me though. If we do it on a weekend it'll have to be relatively early since I'm now assigned to mids (1500-0100) with days off of Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. Pretty rad shift. [facepalm]If it's during my weekend whenever is good. You guys are welcome to use my shop though if for some reason I have to split prior to finishing everything up.Quote:
