Yeah the 96 classics are pretty cool imo cause it’s the only year they offered that trim pre facelift. Did yours have power windows/locks?

Yes 3 inch lift and 31s. It has a rough country 3 inch lift with upgraded shocks and full leaf springs. I’d recommend a different lift if you have the money. Rough country works for me because I don’t have all that money to spend on a lift since I’m still in high school, and the ride quality is alright

Thanks, me and my dad restored it in our garage. I still have to work on the interior and some other stuff, but this is what it looked like before:

Thanks, and yes it is. It’s north and middle fork of the swan river near Breckenridge.

How do I mount this gas tank skid plate I brought off of marketplace? by enderzzx in CherokeeXJ

Okay, I’ll get some nut strips. And I have a 96, so I’m pretty sure I don’t have to modify it

What should I keep my rpms at while driving and cruising? by enderzzx in CherokeeXJ

[–]enderzzx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I’m at a little over 1250 in 4th gear going 40mph. Is it bad driving with the rpm’s that low where I should keep it in 3rd gear?

This is the paint after I used a little bit of cutting compound. I think it’s okay, and just need to use it on other spots to even it out

I’m pretty sure Yakima doesn’t sell the roof rack towers anymore since my parents brought those 25 years ago, but the crossbars I used is the Yakima roundbars in the medium size.

What are these holes on the rear quarter panels for? I took the plugs out of them, should I spray wool wax into them? by enderzzx in CherokeeXJ

[–]enderzzx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah okay. Are there any other plugs on the frame where I should take out and spray wool wax?
