Blown Budget

1987 Jeep Cherokee XJ 4WD

View profile

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.
