New guy's first Jeep

Black5Two · 08-01-2009, 04:49 PM

Hey guys, here is my 97 Grand Cherokee 5.2 that I picked up:

Picked up a Turbo City dual intake for it, and and having my buddy weld up a 3" exhaust for me, with a Borla muffler and Magnaflow cat. Also have a Defender roof rack on the way, and am in the middle of some stereo upgrades:

Also am picking up some 15x10 wheels that I would like to put some 31's or 32's on along with a 4.5" lift.

Huh, how do you guys post images on here? I usually put [IMG] tags around the photobucket links, that doesn't work?

Nice looking jeep but get some 15x8s. You dont need 15x10s at all, plus most 31s that you would get will find are going to be 31x10.5 and you shouldnt run a 10in rim with them at all.

Thanks guys. And it was a local selling the wheels for $50, so I figured I would pick them up, but it looks like he doesn't have them anymore, so I am on the hunt for something else.

Nice Looking Cherokee!!
I would personally get rid of those side steps and that tube brush guard. Or get rid of the side steps and put some small lights on the front brush guard.

Thanks, but I actually like the nerf bars. They were pretty helpful when I was installing the roof rack, and will be handy to have when I load/unload it.

sell the nerf bars and buy rock sliders with the outer tube to step on. check out JCR.

Turbo City dual air intake installed:

Also, since Solid was having a big sale, I picked up some covers for the 30 and 44:

And it looks like this build might not be so slow after all. I am getting an awesome deal (Thanks Dave!) on a brand new Rough Country 4" lift kit, front track bar and steering stabilizer, which I am picking up this weekend as an early birthday present to myself!

I also took off the 4 KC Daylighters, as I am going to be selling them (PM me if you are interested in them), I have 6 Hella 500's for the front and 2 550's for the rear on the way.

Uh oh, what's this?!

Brand new Rough Country 4" lift kit, with 6 control arms, also came with a front track bar and a steering stabilizer. Got a smoking deal on it, picked it up over the weekend. And while I was there, I picked up another toy(don't worry about the crappy pic):

Partially completed rear tire carrier. Wasn't planning on it, but for $50, I figured I would pick it up and have my buddy finish things up, mainly the mounting points and corners.
