While I think all those pics are fantastic, I'm really loving the pic of the whats left of a 91 on the beach, thats a great shot! Awesome pics of some serious hardcore wheeling!

he has removed the drivers side upper link(or maybe it was the pass i can't remember) so its technically a 3 link(less bind) and he's on 37's with i think 5.5" of lift

I know the feeling of being the only Yota on a cherokee site lol. Ellerbe built a fine machine. I give him credit every time someone asks about it.

interesting. I didn't know you could pull 1 arm and have it be "ok" mine will be my DD so ill just leave it for handling characteristics, but try and get as much as i can out of it. thanks for the info.

lol yeah, I would rock a toy if i had the money... they are all a lot of $ or a lot of rust lol. glad your enjoying it. going with him in that rig gave me the itch for more then "light" wheeling.'

looks like you guys have a good group.

yea i know alot of people that run a 3 link on their DD's it works great. less bind than a 4 link and rides nice still. it don't handle any different than i 4 link really unless you have your brake dive numbers off. then it'll pull to whichever side is missing the arm

Your right about the Toys. As they are on avg about 10 years older then most cherokees. I wanted a sport back a few years ago. Though finding a manual seem to be on the harder side. I might still go with one for a street legal rig someday.
