Just ready the whole thread and might I say it's given me many ideas even though I have a zj. You've motivated me to work on mine a whole lot more.
And I think you've convinced me to switch from bed liner to plastidip.

 

For this jeep I stayed with the stock configuration with plans to go with a traditional snorkel. I went the cold air intake route with my 95 and it was more trouble than good. I always had to worry about water getting in and the cone would always get dirty quick and I really didn't see much of a difference performance wise.

Thank you!

 

we should meet up sometime your really close. I'm living in Linwood now. I liked ocean city a lot.We usually go to Indian cabin road in eht and a bunch of random spots just like you said haha. I went out to the pine barrens a few times. I haven't taken it out for a while because I had a full toolbox setup in the back for side work so I didn't want all my expensive tools being thrown around, now that it's winter and the side work is slowing down i took the box out so now I want to go.

I really want to get out somewhere ASAP with somebody with a good camera I need up to date pics for the cherokee of the month calendar. I won back in March and things have changed a lot back then it's like a whole different jeep haha.

 

The straps were the originals luckily I could reuse them. But BE WARNED! The j hooks which attach the straps to the unibody will break when you go to take the bolts off and they are freaking 35 bucks a piece dealer only. I bought one, and made the other. I should have just made both of them if you have a welder and a cut off wheel you'll be good to go.

 

Thank you, it's all in the little details haha. I have a lot of plans for this years jeep invasion in ocean city I'm really pulling to have this thing win the cherokee class again. The zj steering is still holding up, probably one of the best things I've done such a big difference.

How's the new jeep coming along?

 

I had two zjs but for whatever reason I didn't keep them that long but I've always wanted to do a build with one. It's like the perfect comfortable wheeler haha.

Plasti dip is the best I swear by that stuff even more now. The rockers and rear quarters on my jeep are still holding up! I did them sooo long ago with plans to redo it and it just stayed so nice I haven't. The only spots that it's peeling is near the top of the rocker front drivers side but that's because all summer I had my doors off and my foot would rest there. Some spring all the dip is getting redone. Even my bumper, d rings they are all plasti dip and holding up great. It even does a good job to protect from rust, now that I've had time to test it I stand behind that even more.

 

Of course! I may be away but I always come back!

 

make sure you count me in I'm still only a few blocks from you.

 

You know it. I haven't seen your jeep around for a while did you swap everything over to the other one?

 

I have been driving it to work everyday. And letting my pick up sit since it's about to be paid off. The other cherokee I bought still needs work before I can drive it but hopefully I can get that done soon

 

Yeah man we should definitely meet up sometime! My friend and I found this little place in Galloway (I think it be might be illegal though lol) we've been going too. I have a friend that takes a lot of pictures with a nice camera. He could probably help you out if we ever decide to meet up!

 

get the ball rolling!!!!

 

Things are still moving on it, but starting to slow down due to a lighter wallet after all the parts I've been throwing at it lol This is pretty much how she sits now. I want to try and make it down for the OC invasion this season if I can work that out around my work schedule.

I'm sure there's more that I'm missing. Sill needs a front bumper with a winch. Then beef up the D30 with some sleeves and inner C gussets. Looking to get a new top for the summer too. Factory top will become my winter top.

 

Great build! I just read through the entire thread like I was the kid from the Never Ending Story. VALCOR!

 

Update!

Going to pick this little gem up Friday for the jeep. Down n dirty off-road made w/ the LEDs and new mounts included. Can't wait!

Time to order another rim and decide what to do with my tires. Do I keep them and buy 2 new ones and use one of the two beat ones for a spare? Or do I go another direction. Hmm
