quick and dirty
Well i got this truck about 3 months ago and did not want to do a build until it was more along than stock, so now i will get going on a thread.
got- 1987 jeep cherokee base model that appeared to have a little lift but was hard to tell because it had 225/75/15 tires. It had a semi ghetto front bumper and a neat custom rear bumper.
the plan was to weld the rear, lockright the front, new shocks front and rear, shackle relocation kit, clean up the interior and fix the saggy headliner.
turn into new front shocks after i jumped it and bent the shock, removed sway bar front and rear for similar reasons, had 31x10.50x15s but wanted bigger so i bought wrangler wheels and put on 265/75/16s, with spidertrack wheels spacer/adaptors to make them work. trimmed the fenders, welded the rear, installed the lockright on the front, cleaning up and trimming the front bumper to look a little less red neck. oh and installed a cb as per club rules...
ill post pictures today when i figure it out...
