1988 Jeep Cherokee Pioneer
As mentioned before in my intro thread. I recently bought a 1988 Jeep Cherokee Pioneer for $1000 so I can take my Grandson off roading, camping, fishing, etc. (and I have to admit, I am enjoying getting this Jeep ready).
Figured I'd go ahead at start my Jeep Build thread.
Here are the "Before" pictures, as posted in my intro thread.
This is a budget build, and was not going for looks. I was looking for the cheapest "crap" I could conjure up with connections, and being in the business as long as I have (20 some years) I have to admit, getting the lift, and the wheels and tires done today, I am amazed at how this jeep is looking. I feel like a kid hahah. I will post pics later.
It is looking pretty tough. I still have some fine tuning to do with the clearance.
I put a new radiator, belts, and hoses, and figured while i had the radiator out might as well change the water pump, thermosdat, and the idler pully.
Put a can of oil and freon in the AC. Blowing cold.
That's all for now, still lots of work to do.
Problem I ran into with the larger wheels and tires, the spare no longer fits in the cargo space area, and now need the rear bumper mount for spare.
Again, this is a budget project, and I see many of you build your own. Can you build something for me with a tow receiver?
Will also need the bumper for the front for a winch.
No hurry. Little by little. too damn hot in South Texas for camping right now anyways, but getting it ready for this fall.
Again, Will be posting new pics soon.
Thanks.

After
Finally got some "After" pics.
Not finished yet, but thought I'd throw some updated pics up.
Now I am looking for a less expensive way to mount the spare with one of those swing out rear bumpers, and also want a front bumper that I can mount a winch on. They are so expensive?
Hope you like.
