Great site guys! This is my sons Jeep, and 1st vehicle. He is 16, Honors student, and a hunting/fishing fanatic. A great kid all around.

The 87 jeep Cherokee was left to him by his late uncle, so there is some sentamental value here as well. We will upodate this as we go.

Here is what we are starting with:






Here is a pile O' interior parts



Here is what we found undernieth



So, we cut that out, and have OEM floor panels in route. Feul tank, pump, sending unit are all shot as well, so we replaced them.

 

dam! you guys do work!....i'll be following this one

 

Good starting point.

I'm working on a 88 so will be interesting to follow this one.

 

Getting a fe things done and looking at we are working with. Jonathan is jumping right in and learning alot.

Here is the homemade snorkle (HomeDepot and K&M Filter)








Looks like a Dana 44 rear end (I hope!)
