Blown Budget

1987 Jeep Cherokee XJ 4WD

Building this Cherokee has been somewhat therapeutic. Juggling the daily grind of work, being a father, husband and life in general can be overwhelming at times. Channeling my time into building this Cherokee relieves some of that stress. I’ve owned a few Cherokees over the years but decided to try helping other out by documenting and doing write ups every step of the way of this build. Thanks for checking it out and check out my wedsite at www.budgetgarage.net
