1994 Cherokee Sport





So as of this very second my Jeep is sitting at home in the garage perched on 4 Harbor Freight jack stands waiting for me to bring it back from the dead…. Again. I am smack dab in the middle of my 44/9 swap, everything has gone smooth so far, but I haven’ started the install yet. J My rig specs listed below will be based on what I have acquired for my build, but the pictures I will post will not show these mods as I have not completed the build. Part of my build includes flipping the rear leafs to gain 5 inches of wheelbase, building an anti-wrap bar for the rear, Comp-Cutting the rear quarters and incorporating some LED tails. I will also be converting the factory ford arms to a Long Arm setup using 2” DOM and Ballistic joints, building a custom cross-member, and some other odds and ends. It will be lower with a longer wheelbase, and wider, with taller tires, all good things! I will keep my build thread updated as things progress so check it out!

the jeep was bought back in 2006 completely bone stock. i originally bought it as a daily driver and had plans of maybe a 2-3" lift with 30-31s. well, the jeep bug got me and it has slowly been getting built up and in doing so, i have learned alot on the rig along with getting some father son time in with my dad when i needed help. it has been my project through high school and now that i have taken a year off school and am going back to college in the fall, i have bought a mustang as a daily driver and the jeep just gets used when the mustang gets stuck in the driveway. i plan to keep the jeep as long as i can and maybe until i grow old, but in the mean time, its still getting more and more added to it and it has become an addiction. i wheel it as often as i can and maybe will be going to moab this spring.

Some bad *** rigs! Good luck everyone!

dodge007

I had a hard time between x1994j and aircruiser but because x1994j happened to beat me to posting on this I went with aircruiser.

good luck everyone, they are all pretty sweet

X1994J

Hey, I just jumped on at work before I headed home, how was I supposed to know I was the first?

dodge007

Don't worry about it, I had to decide quickly and I figured why not, you have a great rig though, so I'm sure you will either win or be pretty close

X1994J

All good man. As long as an XJ wins.

dodge007

yeah good luck, by the way I love your beadlocks
