Default Drew got an XJ

For the past few months I've been on a quest to find a Jeep Cherokee (XJ) to turn into an off roading beast. My dad has an '04 TJ on 35" M/Ts with a 5" lift etc... and I always rode with him on "wheeling" trips, and I wanted something of my own to drive.

The other day I pulled into a shitty used car lot and found a '94 2 Door in fantastic condition. It only has 110k miles and the interior and engine are immaculate. The best part is that the the transfer case chain is broken (they think it's bombed) which is an easy fix. But since they think it's a big deal we got it for $1200. It will cost us maybe $100 and a few hours work and it will be good to go! I've already got some 30" A/Ts lined up and I'm looking around for a front locking differential now.
Now I just need someone to buy my stupid CR-V :?
I'll get some pictures up once I get the new tires on and everything!
