Wheel base is actually 126. I finally remembered to measure it the other night.

The bed is done and body lift is out. It's finally time to start on the front end.

Every now and then I like to visit my old threads and wish I had never sold a project haha. Today is that day for the Jeep.

I worked on the s10 for quite a while and got it running good, took it wheeling a few times. Looks didn't really change much other than I caved the side of the bed in. But that truck was never going to be as nice as I wanted it to be. I ended up tearing it down to nothing but a frame, cab and bed then it got scrapped. I kept most of the good parts to use on a blazer that should be pretty sweet when done.

Anyway here are a couple pics if you're interested.

I wouldn't be a opposed to a getting another cherokee but people seem to think they are made out of gold around here. Good Blazers seem to go for 1/4 to 1/2 the price of a beat up, rusted out XJ.

I bought a loaded Blazer for $800 that needed the transmission line hooked back up. $40 in ATF and I sold it for $2,200.

As for this one, I traded 3 old rifles that I had less than $380 in for it. The transmission is missing reverse but that can be fixed for $250. Other than that it's super clean.

Still wishing I had kept that XJ truck but here's a couple current shots of the blazer.

Always had Chevys but really having fun with the Cherokee and who knows were it will end up going!
Blazer looks nice but really liked the way the Cherokee was looking!
