Project cheap as crap
Ok so what I have is a 92 2 door Cherokee with the 4.0HO 6cly.
This is basically just a toy for me to play with until I get the funds to build my 400 big block mud truck
When I got it it was all stock with 225 tires on it (gay) so far I have hacked up the fenders( not done yet) and added 2in spacers in the front and 3in blocks in the rear. Put on some 31" all terrain tires I had laying around (still pretty lame but a little better)
This pic is a pretty bad one and doesn't look good but this is how she sits now.
I've got a 4" pipe I'm making a front bumper out of now and I plan on slapping some 33" TSL swampers on it.I drew this up in one of my classes today. What she will eventually look like.
I plan on putting on a snorkel, stack the exhaust, make it all submersible, put two swivel seats in the back for hunting purposes.
This is project cheap as crap because I'm still in high school, taking duel credit classes, and doing sports so there isn't much time to work. And most of the money I do get goes toward my welding rig or diesel for my truck.

Subscribed! I like the sketch.
Make sure you put in a cage, or at least a hoop. Once you chop, the roof can cave in super easy, plus you just got rid of 25% of the structure. I wont lecture you on doing it, but I would highly suggest it.
Cool Build.....

I didn't cut out the old floor I just went over it and screwed to the frame only. Then I drilled a couple holes and filled between the two with low expanding great stuff foam. Helped to insulate to keep out road noise and made it stiff as hell
