windshield wiper bottle is still in there, the fender is basically trimmed flush with the bottom of the bottle.. and my bump stops are set to a hair under that.

everytime I go out I'm amazed at the grip these tires have! only downfall is in the mud they don't work the best but that should be expected for an A/T... also thanks for the follow!

I'm super inspired by this cherobuggy right now... just need to wheel the rest of the sheet metal off mine then it'll probably turn into this...

Yes, that's very similiar to what I was suggesting. All tube from the firewall back. Just cut the floor right behind the front seats and across the top of the windshield and go from there.

That's the plan for mine, eventually. I just don't get to wheel enough to bash the sheet metal fast enough.

This isn't a very good picture of the rig but you'll get the point.

This rig has been my inspiration for a long time. I love this thing.

it's funny, i had be leaning towards getting a wrangler so i could stretch it but after wheeling with a bunch of jk's and tj's this past outing i'm still amazed on how well the old cherokee does... i just need some bigger axles and cage to run it as hard as i'd like on the bigger trails around here..

I think the stock XJ wheelbase is just about perfect for stock axles and pretty moderate/ harder wheeling. JKU's are freaking limos and get hung on everything and TJ's are real short. 06 SD axles are what I'm going to use for tons.

I'm really excited to see this thing going to the next level. looks great with some trail love on it

I just can't seem to get this jeep out of my mind and it will always be my inspiration. I'd love to see your spin on a full bodied bob or how you keep it somewhat full bodied

Any pics of how you mounted your spare in your cargo area? I noticed in a few pics you posted it looks like its at an angle towards the back seat but you didnt remove the back seat.

If this is how you did it, I sure would like to see pics of the mount as this would work better for me than trying to muscle a spare up to my roof rack, ntm would be less weight in the wrong place
