Update (9-17-09)

The Crew and I are in the process of installing our homemade front sway bar quick disconnects. Ran into a snag with my bolt being pretty rusted. Tried cheater bar and a BFH. Nothing. So off to the shop I go. I'm looking heavily into lifts right now. Trying to find a great, long lasting 2" budget boost - while trying to avoid Add A Leafs. I now have a full size spare with matching rim mounted on my roof rack. It's handy, and gives more of a Safari look. And it's a small thing... but at our local junk yard I pulled a badge off a totaled Liberty. That's right, I'm Trail Rated now. Not that it makes a difference. Haha. 

 

I was looking for a 4x4 SUV or light truc k for a c ouple of months, and then found Jewel. I've noticed that a stock Cherokee is still very capable offroad. So as many would say, "I've caught the bug." I know that an Xj can do much much more off the beaten path. I want to keep upgrading my Cherokee. It's a work in progress, based off of how much I want to spend. Haha. After having Jewel half a year, I'm very pleased. She's a great Jeep. Jewel is coming along quite nicely. This is the vehicle for me. Completely.

 

Trails!
