"bulletproof" 94 xj 4x4 two door.
This 94 Cherokee was given to me by my dad in November 17, 2008. It has been everything i could have ever asked for since then and more. The previous owners had already installed a mystery Rusty's off-road lift kit (between 4.5 and 6"?) and 31" Trxus sts tires. Its factory color was white with the sport trim. Here is how it stood when I first saw it.
well I was automatically hooked and started buying any little thing i could, like these
I started going to the forums right away, which got me this
But since my dad was a body man, I decided quickly the paint needed to change. So I went with the salsa red from the Toyota Tundras.
Finally
So a while past and I started wheeling some more when eventually I was conned by my friends to try a mud hole that no one has gotten through in 3 years, which lead to
and due to improper towing methods, my rear bumper got a nice big bend in it. which wasn't replaced until recently. I also decided to get these
Here are a few other photos, they might not be in order but they are all before i got the new bumper
Also my Copilot
Then the newest addition, the bumper, which i now have d-rings for

took the fender flares off, bumpers, lift gate, and doors, and the silly little stripes and black tape trim off that was already falling off. Then the roof rack and also the front clip and hood came off. Then wash, sand, repeat, block, wash. then taped off the interior, and the engine compartment so no paint would get in those places. then did the fine tape work around the trim bars on the roof, and the antenna mount. also completely disassembled the doors and cargo gate before paint and taped the inside off so paint wouldn't get to the windows. Then a little bondo to the few dents, more sanding, washing, and blocking, then primmer where needed, and mixed up the salsa red and sprayed, then dryed over night, and reassembled everything. I also left all the badges off to give the body a more clean look.

I have everything disassembled already, I was just curious on how other people are prepping.
