I’m sure some of you remember, but I’m going to start from the beginning. In January 2019 my wife and I found a 2001 Solar Yellow Cherokee. It had 112,000 miles and was built in the last month, maybe even in the last couple weeks of production. We honestly bought it to flip- it was bone stock and almost perfect. But then we both fell in love with it. And Carol decided to name it “Bumblebee”. 
So, it wasn’t long before I installed a 3” lift. Also some 31” tires and 8” wheels 
At that point we drove the heck out of it and came to love it more. It went wheeling many times, and brought home our 2020 Christmas tree.
This pretty much gets us current. So, seeing as the side and bumper plastics were in sad shape, I decided to replace them. Well, some aren’t available and some are only aftermarket. One thing led to another, and I made the decision that instead of buying aftermarket bumper trim, it was time for some cool bumpers. Here we go!
I installed a front bumper with a Quadratec 9000 winch, and a matching rear bumper. Pulled the side trim- plan is to spray with Raptor liner when I do the Scrambler front fender wells. I did trim the rear bumper corners and spray them with rattle can liner.
Next on the agenda was the sound system. I’ve never been satisfied with a single din system, so I bought a kit and installed an Alpine media system with Apple Car Play. And a backup camera too!
Next on the list is a subwoofer, but I need to let the wallet recover. I’ll update here when I get it installed. After that...maybe an 8.8 rear with discs, and a bit more lift.
