Cheap Jeep project

I was trolling Craigslist for Jeep parts like usual when I came across this gem, a 1996 Cherokee 2.5 5 speed 4wd and for $350 it's now mine.

It came with a salvage certificate since this was an abandoned vehicle. but it runs strong! I can't wait to put it back together.

Nice! Can't drive stick myself with two right feet lol. 

One day I'll do the same with an XJ and MJ project vehicles. Thinking in a year or so.

I do love how cheap these Jeeps can be found if you know where to look and hopefully know what to do.

I can't stand driving the 2.5L... They make my JK seem fast.

 

Is there any glass left in that thing?

My '15 JKU runs pretty well for what it is

 

 

Mine is a 3.8L rebadged minivan.  Actually, the 2.5L 5spd base model XJ might give it a run for the money, if it was tuned up right with factory 28"

 tires.  Let's just say I wouldn't put pinks on that race. :rotf:
