You are viewing my 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. It now has around 151k miles and still runs strong. Has the NP242 Transfer Case, I replaced the cv axles with U-joint axles. Has a 3.73 gear ratio and with dana 30 front axle and a dana 44a rear axle. I have taken a lot of time and money into the Jeep and plan to keep it for a long time. Please take the time to see all my pages as my Jeep grew. Take the time to look at its progress. Dont forget to sign my guestbook, post a comment and/or tell me what you think! Your input is based on the things that I do, so give me good advice on what I should do next.

Newest Mod: 5.9 Grille & Hood Vents

If you have any free time take a few minutes and check out my photography. For those of you who are into photography, I am shooting with a Nikon D40 with the stock 18-55mm lens. I will be upgrading lenses soon, hopefully to the Sigma 10-20 Wide angle, or the Sigma 18-50 2.8
