A Bit Of Change

So i told myself i would never sell my cherokee, but i found such a good deal on a 97 sport, i had to take it. So i switched over everything off my 88 onto my 97. Let me know what you think.
Rusty's .75" shackle still to install to lift rear more
JCR Prerunner Front Bumper coming soon.
33's coming after the new year.
Out with the old.


In with the new.

Yeah the White one was def more rugged looking. But the black one has 55k miles less and newer style gauges with temp gauge that doesn't jump around all the time. The black one will be done right this time. i would like to start a build thread, but we will see what happens.
Yes the wire are called Limb Risers, very nice to have unless you did like me and drilled a hole in both your fenders. Will add them back on to the black one, just in a different mounting style.

I have always wanted to do one and now would be the time.
Got my Rusty's shackles in the mail.

Also got my Thrush Welded Muffler. Will try and post video tomorrow.

Yeah she is stock, and waiting to be sold. It's kinda sad though, i always said i would never sell it, because i spent so much time working on it an building it and it was my first car, but i really like my black one.

I love my shackles. Theyre greasable and made from 3/8" steel. No problems with mine.

I like the Black one better. Clean them tires and trim those end caps to meet the fenders and itll look ten times better.

I like them so far. I haven't installed them, but i like the fact that they are greasable. They look really stout, and for 60 bucks.... you can't beat it. I ordered some RC ones last year to install, and ended up sending them back...just didn't like having hald an inch or shackle hanging below my leaf springs.

Also, yeah im taken off the end caps on the black one for now, and im trying to talk to a guy about some 33's.
