Sounds good. Also I'm going to be parting out the 89 if there's anything you want off it let me know. I don't think there are any good body or interior parts though.

Finally made some progress this weekend. Got the cage cut out of the 89



Removed the rest of the top off the 90...



Had to cut 2 inches off the bottom of the cage, it ran through the dash on the 89 but I'm trying to keep a windshield so I ran it in front of the dash.



A few friends working on the cage...



Mocked up... Haven't welded it in place yet, still need to paint it and do something about the pain job on the cheromanchee before I weld it in place





Not really happy with how much of the dash is blocked, with 35's the speedometer is useless anyway but I still don't like it... I'll probably change it a bit.



The tool box will not be staying, I just shoved it there for now.

I still need to build a front bumper to tie the cage into, sure as hell not leaving that bumper on it! Since I pushed the cage back a good 5 inches the rear mounts hang over the back, so I'll also have to build a rear bumper to weld the cage to.

Once I figure out my mounting plates and bumpers I'll post pics of the design.

Hey my friend said that you didn't contact him about the skids so I wasn't able to truck them up north. He told me that he's sold one but still has the other. If you send him the money I can still train the one skid up to Fresno in a month when I go down to hungry valley for a wheeling trip.

That is a sweet looking 'manche. Loved the way the cherokee was chopped, never seen anything like it. too bad it was too much work, guess I know what to do to mine if I ever roll it! haha

This project is dead. Still have plans for the manche, but I'm working on my '92 DD first.
