Also i have the Adavnced adapters SYE for it, gonna rummage through a jy to find a front drive shaft to use as my rear untill the tom woods comes in. I bought a can of herculiner for the lowers and maybe quaters/fenders after trimming, any have experience with it. Built this nifty little tool box for the trunk over the christmas weekend. All together cost me around 100$...

So i was thinkin' about getting the jcr front pre-runner bumper w/ the 2" reciever. now i want a winch just not a bumper that sticks out with a winch mount. i wanna fab something up from the reciever with a square tube in the reciever and a flat plate to mount the winch. what do yall think?

Liking the build so far and I think a JCR Winch Pre-Runner bumper would look awsome on the front of your cherokee.

hahahah, yes from rob and big. Glad some one caught on muchacha sucia or "dirty girl" is a joke we have from way back with my buddies. An i thought it was fitting to what she is gonna be. Plenty of mud and dirt. heres a link for anyone who is curious to the video
And here is the origional version

-funny stuff...

As for the box in the jeep, ill have to get some, jeeps up at the shop where were working on it, i will be sure to get some asap. The dimensions were 40"w-30"L- and i used 2x6 for the frame work with simple plywood for top and bottoms.

Aright, so. I have been slacking...boooo. i know i know, haze me now. well today i put in some work.......

First here are some pics of the self made tool box in the back of the jeep by request (with all of my boxes for the lift on top)




Mans best friend! 3ft flex head 1/2 inch drive and some rust blaster


Wrong shocks got sent, to short, so that will have to be done at a later time.


than......after a little and some , with a few busted knuckles and boiling rubber flying on my face from having to cut the rubber bushings for the leafs, the rear was completed!!

With the little tires...


Than the 33 baja claws
