My Cherokee isn't really all that 'special', I guess, but it's the one I built. It's solid on the freeway at 80mph and can crawl with anything else in it's 'Class'. It's not the biggest or the baddest, but with the armor and bracing, it's tough as nails. It goes anywhere I point it, and has never let me down. I love it to death, sometimes I love to hate it. It's a great Jeep and I couldn't part with it.

I picked up my white '99 Cherokee a little over 4 years ago. At the time, it was cherry with only about 72K miles on it. My original intention was to use it to see more back country areas near where I live (Avon, CO) and to access remote hiking areas. Well, while it did do that, I also got bit by the wheeling and building bug and it took on a life of its own. So far the Jeep has been a GREAT learning experience and I have done and seen things I never imagined myself doing. I love fabricating and building things, and this has proved to be an excellent platform for whatever I can dream up. Probabaly the best thing about the XJ has been the community and some of the people I have met since getting into this hobby/sport. No doubt this is a work in progress, and I enjoy where I've been and where I think of going with it. I have put a lot of effort into my XJ, so I hope everyone likes it!
