The Baconator
Here is the Craigslist photos before I got my Jeep on Father's Day from my wife and Daughter.
1996 Jeep Cherokee Country
4.0L AW4 Chrysler NP231 8.25 D30HP 209,000 3.55
Wrecked front end. Story is that the kid driving rear ended a bigger truck punching a through the front grill, radiator, aux fan. I went to try to by the Jeep and she started up enough to move onto the trailer.

First thing I did was take a picture of the rear axle and upload to forum asking what rear end. Thanks to you guys i knew in about 5 minutes
I then went to work. Pulled off all the bad pieces of the jeep's wrecked front end and hit up my local Junk Yard to look for new (used) parts to get this soon to be "trail rig" going.
You can see pictures of the front end being taken apart, the red donor jeep that i pulled the aux fan, front clip, and radiator from.

Ready for the Paint Booth
Ok so really ready for the Flat Black rattle can. Going to paint those gold fenders flat black. Once i scratch up the rest of the Baconator on the trails then i will sand down and flat black the rest.
So far the list of installed parts since I bought it.

Electric Fan <----now on a switch
Thermostat
Thermostat Housing
Radiator Fluid....kinda a must
1 Gabriel Ultra Shock <----3 more in garage needing to be installed
2 JY Tires in back <----Still need front Passenger replaced
Oil and Oil Filter
Things to do <----Have Parts but Just need TIME!
Replace Spark plugs
Replace Air Filter
Install 3 Gabriel Shocks
Install Rear Hitch
Find place to install fog light switch to Aux Fan
