Cherokee pat

Tested the forklift to see if it would hold the jeep to work under it

Before the clear was added









With clear and yes this is the color I have finally decided to go with!

Love it

Cherokee pat

Just having some fun checkin it out





Got some parts (shackles,quick disconnects, my 8.25 rear differential cover and whenever quadratec fixes the problem I'll have my Dana 30 eventually)








As we continued on painting









And then we run into a major snag the paint started to crack due to not having enough flash time/probably high air pressure








So I had to re sand all doors including hatch and rear quarters





So I took the fuel door outside on the nice a day we had up here in western pa to get a feel of the color since it looks more like a Forrest green inside under fluorescent lighting





And finally here we are today with color on the body fully and will be shooting clear coat in the morning!

Here it is with clear paint and clear have been done since December 31st 2014 sorry pictures aren't to great here more to come once rear end is back in



I pulled the rear end and have been working on cleaning it up changing seals and will be giving it a coat of paint tomorrow.




Here's a little transformation I put together just because

Got the rear suspension pretty much wrapped up for the most part!

Figured I'd get myself a cherokee windshield banner.



Dipped my new drive shaft in evaporust. My old one was extremely rusty. Rusted through almost 3 layers of metal.



So I got all my little stuff done on the rear. Gas tank up brakes are done so I popped my bumper on to check it out. It is just sitting there not bolted down due to I'll be sanding here soon.

So with the rear end finished it was time to start on the front. Pulled the front axle in about 65 minutes give or take.

Under coated my front wheel wells











And lately I've been wetsanding while waiting for parts and the other end of my axle to clean up in the evaporust! Hopefully in the next couple weeks it'll start to be put back together and close to road worthy!

sorry for the very delayed post my phone won't let me access the app so i had to get time to upload them from my computer

so lets get to it i put on a dynomax exhaust the flow master i originally had was way to short so i returned it and got something a little cheaper that sounds a little better in my opinion



she got her shoes 31x10.50 r15 yes i want to put a 33 under there the 31s look so tiny



buffing is finally all wrapped up



hung my fenders now just look at that body line



put my bushwhacker flat fender flares on



after about 2 months at the power coater i get my differential covers back



now of course i had to do some detail work lime green riddler logo and bolts and lock nuts are painted (nail polish worked great for this and seems to be holding up fairly well so far)



sorry i definitely missed a lot of pictures through out here since technology doesn't like me but this was the first day i drove her on the road when i took her to get her alignment



then i had to go get some parts and show off a little bit





so now time for badges these are badges off the new "cherokees" but they fit a lot better with my color so i went with it



now i added my Cherokee banner

so of course had a photo opp and i took advantage of that
