The jeep was always a CA vehicle so it is rustless and I try to keep it clean, but it is NOT a mall crawler. I go out weekly to nearby trails and its got its fair share of mud stuck to the undercarriage. Thanks for looking, feel free to ask question and leave comments I'd like to hear your opinions. I am putting together the hundreds of photos for you all to see.

Hello CherokeeHoonigan here, Been awhile since i submitted but jeep has not really changed since then!

This is my ugly beast, i call her toothless and she packs a heck of a bite.
This is a High School build i am on a 2" procomp suspension lift with 15" aftermarket black rims that came off of a dodge.
I have an aftermarket spectre air intake and 31" goodyear wrangler authorities which are wonderful tires!
i have a 10" dual sub in the back for casual audio and an on board air tank/compressor along with a pretty nice stereo setup done by previous owner.
this jeep has gotten me where i need to go and usually in 2WD!
I have a heck of a lot planned for this rig this summer that i hope to get done while i have my motorcycle to ride,

I have had a few issues with the rig but nothing i couldnt get done on my own but im going to leave you guys here to look at my wonderful pictures because build wise my jeeps pretty bland until this summer.
