My Daily Driver - Jeep Cherokee

[Carlwalski]

Well, some of you may remember I had a thread a while back asking about how the Cherokees were.......
I purchased one about 6 weeks ago and have had some slight work done to the vehicle to make it "mine".

Its a:

1995 Jeep Cherokee Sport
4.0L High Output Engine (190hp)
Automatic/4:10 gears
XJ Model
Black with cloth interior


Anyhow I thought I'd post some photos now shes up to my standard and I'm happy with her.
It's a fantastic truck!!! A little thirsty but eh, who gives a shlt. lol
I got 5% tints from the front windows back and 35% on the two front.
15x8" Black Cragar mags with 31x10.5" tyres on. I had it lifted 2", not much but I'm happy.

I was going for the Army RV type vehicle, high enough, chunky tyres, black and stealth....I think I did well. 
It all makes for a great driver and it looks pretty sweet in the garage next to Lucy (White/Black)

I may look at a bull-bar for the front, matt black of course...but for now I'm happy.


Cheers,
Carl

This is what the Jeep was like when I got it......

 Looks sweet NZ 
 I like the all black look alot, nice job!

[Carlwalski]

Thanks mate...yip, all black was the only option for me.
I knew what I wanted before I purchased the Jeep...just needed the starting point; a black Jeep.

Jeeps are cool.  Very nice job.  You should be very proud everytime you look in your garage!! 

[Carlwalski]

Thanks my meat eating human friend.  j/k

  Looking good NZ, now just keep her away from any of that valcano ash that may be floating around. What's the story on that lil event? Maybe another thread would be more appropriate ?

[Carlwalski]

Doesn't bother me Jim...hijack mine...I am owed several jackings....lol 
I am not sure....I really haven't looked into it too much....up North somewhere is all I know.

Sounds like a good spectacle though.....
Might have to invent some GIANT marshmallows and get me a front row seat.

But everybody knows that the 4.0L Jeep enigine is VERY unreliable.

lol Yip, I posted that bad boy.....
Sfarai racks look to buys....what I would like is a light bar with 4 or 5 spot lights on top. 

Oh...and more aerials for the authentic army look. One BIG CB one at the rear near the tailgate.

Other Items:


Hi-Lift jack mounted on a bumper someplace, front or rear, or on your tire carrier.

You might look at getting a different front bumper rather than a kangaroo bar, as the bars end up killing your "approach angle" due the bracketry sticking out under the bumper and most arent much more than a glorified lightbar and protection from shopping carts.

ARB might have something in a replacement bumper.

You might look at getting some weld-on sliders too.

I know where you can get a Jeep army sticker package if your interested!

Thanks, the replacement jack is fine. RB are good but expensive, I've heard/seen Smart Bars which only weigh 35kg and are strong. They are a full faced bull bar. Not sure what weld-on sliders are...??

I really don't won't to put $$$ into this Jeep as it's daily driver and a car I don't mind getting dirty etc...
I got it for a good price and have put enough into.....though I'll keep an eye out for bargains on items I want.

Thanks Cannibal, but I'm not really after an "Army" look though.
Army in a way....not in your face army, more special forces type (stealth). (If that makes sense) 

Thanks anyway mate.
