I have aquired a 2000 Cherokee Sport XJ. She is nothing all too special, but I have already laid out the road map to her transformation. Here is a link to pics of my Jeep... http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3228716

I will be updating there as well as here as I build "The Beast" I will also be doing some write ups there as well on the mods that I do. Please check it out and let me know what you think.

 

Pic of the beast

 

haha you should mount a turret to the roof with a lot of support of course instead of that rife on the hood

but looking forward to the build

 

updated pics of the beast in his natual habitat

 

2nd pic (in previous post) was where i found in PA this past week looking back out the way i came in... here is the pic that was supose to be there instead...

 

yea, i have though about it... i need to build the exoskeleton first. the rifle is my buddies M1. he got bit hard by the jeep bug that day... i even let him do some driving too

 

was it the XJ bug or just the Jeep bug?

 

i think it was the general jeep bug, but i am trying to sway him towards the XJ instead of a Grand Cherokee. he deff dont want a wrangler cuz he wants the cargo space and since what he has been looking at dont fit the budget atm, he may end up with an XJ anyway, lol, the XJ bug may win this one, lol

where is that in pa? it looks awesome!!

 

its near rausch creek, i saved it on my GPS so i could find it again... next time i fire it up i will see if it has the exact addy. i was just driving along and bam, there it was, had to stop, turn around and check it out, glad i did...

 

oooh nice. it looks awesome. rauche creek is about 2 hours from me.

 

yea that spot was nice, had i had more lift and tires, more winch points, or another jeep, i would have gone further in. almost got stuck with all the snow in the back half closer to the tree lined trails...

next time i head down that way, i will give you a yell, maybe we could meet up and hit that area again

 

it that in Centralia pa. the mine fires. also your jeep is cool as hell. no lift kit but everything you need on a trail

 

my friend once went to centralia. i so wanna go. it seems so awesome. ill have to get out their sometime
