iam not sure what bumpers i picked up another cherokee months ago that had the lift and bumpers and tires and wheels on it! i paid 500 for that one! and i spent 184 in fuel out at back! so a grand total so far of about $1000 into this one! the old bike it the pics was from the guys house! thanks for the compliments on the dodge! the cherokee is very very clean thats the only reason i went so far to get it! there is not a spec of rust on it! i just recieved the winch in the mail so that will be going on soon! ill post pics along the way! thanks guys!

That is the cleanest $300 jeep I have ever seen. Nice work. What else do you have planned for it?

i got the winch but the bumper is not strong enough to house it so i gotta get a new front bumper and then the winch will be on! i would like to do an 8.8 rear, lockers, and maybe replace the peugot (spell check) haha with an ax-15!! and iam sure there will be more along the way! thanks guys!
