Well after having a build thread in the general jeep builds section and not really having any interested I decided to move my build to the local section.
Previous build thread https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f46/me...36407/index20/

Little info on the jeep.
92 laredo Cherokee around 215,000 miles
Aw4 auto 231 sye, Dana 30 beefed up 4.88's, lock right hiem steering, 8.25 4.88's Aussie locker disk brake swap 29 spline mini trussed.
Custom long arm front, custom wishbone style 4 link rear, custom bumpers, sliders armor.

So far everything on or in my jeep has been designed and built by me, along with help from a friend along the way.
Now I have graduated the jeep should start getting much more attention.


Summer plans:
Narrowed Dana 44 (waggy width)
DIY beadlocks
8.8 or Dana 44 rear possibly
3 link front in place of radius arms
Ram assist
More ideas bouncing around as well..

 

Well whipped up acouple tubes and welded them up on my rear quarter armor for sliders. Think they turned out all right.



















As u guys can see too my parents went alittle nuts on with the window markers.. that **** is a pain to get off!

 

I'm liking that bar on the side. Looks good. I need to get a set of those

 

Thanks. Yea I'm not 100% sold on the look yet so the armor might be up for sale soon idk.

 

Well since this is a start of a new thread I figure I would post up some pics of the Jeep. From now and along the way.

 

looks good. I think the side armor looks nice on there also. I would keep it. man I need to build a long arm kit

 

Badass jeep man. Very rewarding building it your self if you can. Look forward too seeing your progress

 

Thanks guys! And for now ill probably keep it. I'm tossing around the idea of picking up a 2wd mj and swapping everything over to it and scraping the xj body. But I need to find a new DD before that can happen.

 

Picked up a new dd today. A 86 Jeep Comanche 5 speed 2wd. Pretty good condition, and drives awesome!

 

Damn nice man, whatd you have to give for that? Looks like its in great shape!

 

Only 875 came with brand new batt and starter put in while I watched haha. Drives smooth as a catty and has decent get up for the 2.5 and awesome mpg.

 

Nice build! I really like your rig. One question though about the new slider bar on your armor, why didn't you move the bar up a bit closer to the window? I assume you are putting it there for protection of that sensitive spot.

 

Yea I put it there to protect the window but since my armor doesn't go that high I didn't put it up high. And I wanted a different look then anyone has.

 

Well here are some wheeling pics.

Buddy almost rolled his Jeep I Ron's run at walker valley, slipped off his line and fell in the V.

 

pucker moment?
