my plan for lights as of now is a 42" flood on the roof, a 12" spot beam on the bumper, and two flood pods Reverse facing. that way i get the best of everything, depending on the situation

That sounds like pretty much the setup I'd have except placed a little differently. Just need to figure out the specifics of the lights, 42", maybe a combo flood/spot, on roof or bumper. If on the roof, then a smaller like 20" on the bumper. Then two pods rearward facing on the roof rack. Would provide PLENTY of light.

Cleaned up the bumper a bit, took off the bed frame stinger i made as a joke, and cut the corners a bit more.

And if you are ever doing and exhaust on a cherokee, make sure that you get a new downpipe made. cause this is restrictive as all getup.. Thats where the exhaust manifold meets the downpipe of the cherokee

I may be doing a new exhaust at some point on mine. The tail section is pretty rusty, and like the tip is rusty as shit, holes in it and stuff. I need to get under it and check out how bad it is all the way along.

save up and buy a new manifold while you are at it, and install a small flex pipe where it crosses the transmission or just before the tranny X-member, your manifold will be cracked, and will lead to shitty mileage, the stock manifolds dont flow very well anyways. New manifold to a 2.25" downpipe going into a 2.5" exhaust after the cross member with a small resonator in place of the cat, and something like a super 44, thrush turbo, or glass pack for a muffler is probably the best you can do for a 4.0 to get max efficiency out of the motor

I'll keep in mind the new manifold part for when I do. I was thinking pretty much what you said, 2.5" exhaust to a glass pack or something similar. When I actually go to do it I'll figure out everything. Got to drive it first lol

Pretty much what my Jeep will look like with 3-4" lift and 31s if that's the route I go.

My friend just got the 4 inch x kit from rough country for his wj and it is well worth the money, like 750 and you get a new track bar, nicer shocks, adjustable front lower control arms and transfer case drop parts in addition to just shocks and springs. Wasn't too awful to get it all on either

And here's my wj with the 4 inch rc long arm kit and 2 inch spring spacers on tip of that

I just need a job and then it should be quite do-able hahahah. But where did you find those flares? I havent been able to find any besides the bushwacker ones. Or are those the bushwacker ones??

They are bushwackers. And honestly unless you're planning on going to 35's I wouldn't bother with them, I personally love the look of cut fenders and some wide ass tires, it makes it look so mean
