1988 cherokee (JADE)
 

Picked this cherokee up at the end of april for 1000 bucks. Since then I've put about the same into it, maybe a little more 😅 this will mainly be a pictures thread. Hope you enjoy my build 😁

Kill all fenders �� notice the tresd wear on that tire -_- ball joints needed replaced and it didnt help the previous owner didnt have the alignment done after he put the lift on

Tire still sits funny to this day, i am not currently driving it so when the time comes we will see what the alignment rack has to say

Mounted up some hella floods on the stock front bumper. Aftermarket bumpers/rock sliders will come eventually, but this will work for now

Switch mounting for the hellas/led pods/whatever else i decide to run ��

A little engine bay detailing/cleaning up. This thing was and still kind of is a mess!! Everything with blue tape was an immidiate issue


https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.che...572c290145.jpg

Yep, closed cooling systems suck. So, im in the process of swapping to an open cooling system! Waiting on the 01 cherokee reservoir/overflow tank, and still havent figured out how to run the rad mounted fan, other than that its about done!

Few more pictures from the open cooling system conversion. New plugs wires cap and rotor, new vaccuum lines/housing, new thermostat, thermostat housing from an 01 cherokee, radiator from and 01 cherokee, reservoir from 01 cherokee, and alot of hoses, adapters, and hose clamps.

Angry eyes, and some more cutting!! Not a fan of cut and fold, as id rather just cut it and leave it on the ground!!


https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.che...593484408d.jpg

Little facelift action! New junkyard grille an headlight bezels! Used a rough texture finish paint on them and though it has a hard time drying, it looks like a cheap rhino liner and i dig it!!

Little VW badge humor going on. Helps me fot in with my friends in the downtown froday night car scene ��

Badges painted with texture paint once again, not a fan of badges but they cover up the scratches!!

Got the idea today at work to make some paracord door nets, since i cant find any and if i do they are outrageously expensive. SO I MADE MY OWN!! Cant wait to see what its like to go doorless!
