So, I am making my build thread.
I bought a 95 Grand Cherokee in 1995 with some body damage from a kid for 3500. He paid 6000 for it a few months before hand so it worked out well for me. I have changed it a bit since then, and will put what I can remember in this thread. As new stuff is added, I will also add it to this thread

It was not hard to take that picture. I was on the highway without to many other people around. At 149999 miles, I pointed my camera at the odometer and started clicking. I took about 15 pics, and I think 2 caught 150000.0
