jeep cherokee
I originally purchased a Wrangler which was fantastic on the trails and fit my smaller lifestyle. However, in 2011 I replaced the Wrangler in favor of its bigger brother - the Cherokee - as it offered more cargo space which became highly desired.
This 1998 Jeep Cherokee is now my wilderness trail rig which is used for getting me to the trailheads and also for the sport of offroading. Here are the modifications I've made to it since purchasing it (I bought it with the 3" BDS lift):

One of the options available on the Cherokee was cruise control. Mine did not have the option from the factory, but the plumbing is already present so adding the option would be fairly simple.

My wheeling buddies and I decided to get CB radios to communicate with each other instead of two-way radios. A CB offers a lot of benefits such as increased range and uses vehicle power source. Two other features the radio I chose include weather information from NOAA and a 5w PA system.

My wife noticed the other day why my left rear door "sticks" when it's opening. The cause: the door trim is separating from the door and catching on the driver's door when opening. I had a few options to fix it.

After I put on bigger tires, I ran into a problem with tire rubbing on the fender flares during articulation. After a lot of vacillating between downsizing the tires, changing the backspacing, and cutting the fenders, I finally made a decision.

One of the best pieces of vehicle recovery equipment is a winch. Lifts, tires, and lockers are all nice, but you can still get stuck with them. A winch can pull you out of anything and help others, too.

I like having a fullsize spare tire to rotate into the mix so all tires are the same. This does mean the spare tire will take up more room in the factory location - inside the cargo area. I opted to install a safari rack to carry the tire, recovery gear, and anything else I want.
