so thats just the beging there will be more coming. thanks for looking let me know what you think.

FINALLY!!!!!!! jeeps looking good broski. i cant wait till we can wheel together again one day! ill def be keeping my eye on this build thread.

Thx ethan, I cant wait to wheel with you again once im done with school.

right!! its sad were gonna havta keep up on each other builds through cherokeeforum now instead of wheeling and working on them together.

so what are your plans for this now that your down in NC? whats the to-do list look like

Well first things are to install my front hears and rear disk brakes. then im gonna fab up a swing out tire carrier and if i have the money im gonna build my own long arms ccause i actually have a fully equipped shop to work in so it all comes down to money. but the tire carrier is a definate.

im def gonna be keeping my eyes peeled for a rear tire carrier round here. keep me posted on the build. and lmk how those rear discs go, im think ima do that this summer amungst other things :batman:

If you like the way i build mine ill build one for you ill be building it soon. and ill def let you know how i like the rear disks.

ya i figure ill be in the market for one come spring or summer, so i could always pick it up when i come visit you this summer.
