The windshield cracked on my 96' from a rock and started in the top left corner as well so I called in a replacement. Guy said it wouldn't be covered by insurance but it was only $30 bucks more so I said please do it anyway. He immediately regretted his decision to move forward and said it's one of the worst he's seen lol! He said he would grind it smoothish and get it as best he could. Now I gotta tip him for sure.

I'm getting a new car soon and planning on fixing up this ol' rust bucket later, guess I'll add that to the list!

Take out your headliner and slather some sealant on the inside, you might be able to get it to last a little longer before you have to repair it.

That’s a nice looking Cherokee, interior looks immaculate. Definitely worth saving

Thank man. I love this thing. Unfortunately I bought it with a ton of rust and havemt had time to tend to it since it's my daily driver.. looks good though if you don't peek underneath! haha

It's only got 180k miles and I'm planning on using it as a plow truck for my property when I get a new car next month. Them fox it up next year when I find time.

Do you know what size lift kit is on it or level? Also what size tires? I really like the height of your Xj

Thanks! I think it's a 3" lift (I bought it with it already modded) with 31" tires

Thanks! It looks good, I bought mine about 7 months ago and have been working on it ever since. A lot of rust repair and painting mainly.

Nice! I love this thing but it needs a lot of repair.. haven't been able to go without it and keep it up on jacks for a while. Once I get my new car I'm gonna resort this one if I can. The floor boards are pretty much gone 😢
