I left the Tera flex strap system to hold them up and away when they are disconnected and it works really well! I really like these Q.D's and I am very pleased with JKS!

Default Mud Flaps

Put on Rocky Road Outfitters detachable mud flap mounts. They seem like they are pretty nice and durable. I probably will just leave the actual mudflaps off when i actually get them on the detachable part. unless I'm going on a long trip out of town on the freeway or if the boys in blue hassle me about them.

Those wheels look great on there. Your build is making me want to chop the back of mine off now, but I cant do it yet. Keep it up. It's coming together nicely.

Thanks man I really like these wheels. I was worried how it would make the jeep look at first but they turned out looking pretty nice with everything. The window tint I put on made things go better together as well!

One word. Boost.

I have two Cherokees running two different supercharger kits and full bolt-ons. One has a Sprintex system and the other has a Rick Rimmer M62 kit. Both installs are documented in my build threads.
(warning: tons of pics)

https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f46/pr...cejeep-173699/

If you want to build your engine a bit, I know for a fact that the Sprintex kit is easily capable of 12-13psi boost at sea level on a unmodified head. Now THAT was a performance upgrade. Lol.

Definitely going to be keeping an eye on this build. Looks great!

Wow man just got done looking at your builds, AMazing!!! I would love to do that to mine. Possibly something to look into doing on my next Cherokee that I'm currently looking for to build from scratch.

I think it went on ebay last year for $12000 or $12500. Not a bad price for a clean lifted low mileage cherokee, not including the chop.
