That kid grew quick in 2 weeks. Sheesh. You'll have grandkids by August!

Got a set of Wagoneer Tails for it.


I also cut a big section out of the back of the inner fenderwell for future tire clearance.

Then I welded in another Satellite dish patch panel.

Stock inner fender:

Current:


Now that's a lot of clearance. I'll get better pics later when I do the drivers side.

Cool clearance project. Nice to have preformed contoured metal...LOL. Good idea. I wonder if that would void the warranty of the part?

Hey I have a Cherokee just like this! 1993 Country, 3 in IRO lift, 31" tires and newer Cherokee rims. I had alot of rust on the rockers so I replaced them and am currently working on painting the bottom half of the Jeep darker tan.

Nice! That was a sweet MJ you built, looks like this will be the same way. I like that you're starting building with it planned out so well, I also like that you exhibited the self control I didn't and started the work before you got it dirty from wheeling it haha, can't wait to see where it goes!
