i just bought a 2.5 petrol cherokee and want some info on mods so here goes
1- heavy duty bumpers front and rear, but can make them myself, what would you recomend take off original bumpers and copy the mounts for them? or some part to weld to as theres no chassis on these i believe, the front will be a winch bumper to
2- winch, any reccomendations?
3 diff gaurds? what you using and where you get them from?
4- lift- not going to do it, yet, gonna have a play first and see how it goes, but not a big fan of lifts, lots of effort for not much return, rather spend money on front and rear winches.
5- any other tips of you guys?

That's awesome thanks, a pic of the back bumper will be much appreciated, with the 3 inch lift, do yo drop the diff with yours? And with your snorkel did you relocate the washer bottle? And mines the same colour as yours the best of course

don't know where you have got that from - they normally get on very well with water
