weekend wanderer
I,ve been bummin around on this site for years now and just finally decided to find time to make my own build page.. mostly just because i think it would be neat to see how things go and be able to look back and saw wow.. from 4x4 station wagon to now. i have a few random photos that i need to try and organize so bear with me
bought this one for $900, 93 cherokee sport 4 door, 4.0 HO, Np231
(this was roughly 2 years ago.. maybe 2.5

first spark plug change, when i first got it... i had to drive it about 25 miles and it took 3 or 4 stops on the way to keep it from overheating... it was shifting awkwardly(bad tps), trying to overheart because of the tps as well.. and had a front brake locking up every time i touched the brakes.. took an hour to go 20 miles lol, also didnt have a good inspection or correct plates etc etc... did what i had to though

my next move is going to be to get a new track bar for sure.. im thinking about the one from iro double shear. mostly because its adjustable to fit small and big lifts, which will save money for when/if i move to 6.5.
i know i need rear shocks..theyre a must because im running some blowns that came off of something else. i would like to get new control arms as well. also want to get new leaf packs and ditch the blocks/save em for bumping it up to 6.5 or 7.
just cant decided if i should spend the money on a few things or just say screw it and get a 4.5 kit and start over. only catch there is the driveshaft.. i could take care of it no problem but idk about the cost at the moment..plus i'd have to modify it again to go higher right? i can spend around $500. problem is there are too many damn options lol
