Default Jeep Cherokee On JK Rubicon Axles

I have had a lot of people asking about what all I have done to my old cherokee, Here’s a nice walk around video of my 1996 Jeep Cherokee overland XJ build! Link Will be below. I swapped JK Rubicon Dana 44 axles in the jeep with 37in patagonia's. I did sell this a few months back but I have a lot of content on this axle swap. Let me know if you have any questions!

I've been interested in the Baja Hood for while now. Are you happy with the quality of it? I and dropping an 6.0 LS in my XJ and was needing to have some way to get the heat out and loved the look of that hood just wasn't sure about it. Based on the pins I am guessing it does not incorporate the stock hood latch? Would love some more pictures of the underside of the hood.

bad news for ya, the company that made that hood closed a few months back. I don't know if you'll be able to find a place to purchase it.

I loved the hood! it used the factory hood brackets and then just used pins. It did give some more engine room.

To me its no surprise that is no longer on the market. The jeep market is saturated with products that serve virtually no functionality

too bad the new JL rubicon hoods are aluminum. they look very close, and if one was good with a welder, one could've made a hood like that one.
not sure if the anniversary hood from the JK is steel or aluminum, but i guess you could use one of them, if you can find one, cut the center bulge out, and weld it in an XJ hood, smooth out with a bit of puddy, and i'm sure it would look just as nice all painted up.
