so about 2 days ago i was looking on craigslist and found a 1995 jeep cherokee sport listed for $1500 went down to look at it, did a test drive, and all was well, a great mechanically sound jeep, that was rolled.. after some talking i bought the Jeep for $700 =D the jeep came with an internal roll cage which obviously did its job which i was happy about (the girlfriend liked that too)

 

some photos of roll cage and engine

 

what are your plans? Looks like alot of work to fix the body on it.

 

It looks sooooo sad in the first pic... Glad your giving it a second chance. I'm gonna watch the revival of this!

 

Plus that's a nice hybrid cage!

 

so yesterday i thought replacing the hatch would be a good place to start, so i took the hatch off my 88 along with the passenger door. both hatches were removed with ease. the 88 hatch and door were loaded in the back of the 95 and held in with a very interesting system or straps and rope haha

 

Maybe it is just the pictures but the damage doesn't seem bad for a roll over... looks like a good project though that PO probably dropped some coin on that cage.

 

as of right now i just want to get the body looking decent, my 88 has a lot of mechanical problems so the damaged 95 pieces will be replaced with the 88 ones.

 

i love driving it even how it looks now haha i think its gonna be a fun project to get it looking good again, and seeing as how it IS drivable i have no stress about having it down for any period of time.

 

it really isn't too bad, its mainly the passenger side, all the doors sill open and close aswell, all the glass other then the windshield is crack free.

 

after some banging and bending with the sledge hammer, the rear hatch was replaced. some fine tuning is still needed to get it to open and close with ease but i think its a good start!

 

that night i found out the wiring harness was different, so with a little thinking i found a way to light the plate =p

 

did some more body work today, did the front end i think it came out pretty good. ised the front and both fenders off my 88

 

the passenger door refused to open, after half an hour of WD-40 and pushing and shoving i finally decided to cut a hole haha the doors getting replaced anyways =]

 

notice the roof is bent on the Pass side how do you plan on fixing that? does it interfere with the door?
