i am going to check the door tag and find out when it was built. as for keeping it stock, my only major mods are going to be a mild 4.6 , fuel cell, partial rollcage, and some suspension upgrades, possibly an 8.8 rear. I love these trucks and Jeeps make great offroad racers , but around here every Cherokee has the same issue, weak rear frames and ROT. I am currently racing a 96 XJ which I had to build a rear frame for, because the unibody simply gave out. The MJ gives me at least half of a boxed frame to work with...and besides....they look frickin cool !! :yes:
