Today I got the body back on and tested the flex with the help of a fork lift. SO, it looks like it will flex a little.




Next it's time to trim the body a little more.

that looks so much better than a k5 frame under a cherokee, those frames are too big and they dont look right, the scout frame is smaller and looks more like its supposed to be there lol

Only looks like the rear fenders need some trimming chief. BTW if you entered cherokee of the month right now you'd have my vote. Gnarly build.

I'm not going to fill it in but I am securing it with 4 body mounts on each side. This way if I ever get tired of that body or tear it up real bad, I can pull it off and replace it easy.
