With that said I'm gonna start my build now I like input and advise negative *comments are welcome also*
I have been looking for a while around cl and other places for a decent Cherokee meanwhile trying to sell my truck I was looking for 4 dr Cherokee stick or auto, *miles don't scare me " more so a bragging right then anything" my previous Cherokee had 230xxx and my grand Cherokee had around the same...... so a buddy of mine told me that his parents were going to try and sell there cherokee again " I had tried buying this around 2 years ago " so now I had something lined up to buy *so I**sold my 06 ram 2500 ... So I turned around and bought this the same day, it's a 92 white Cherokee 4dr sport off my buddy for 600 it has the 4.0, aw4, 231 , manual doors no options....

My plan of attack ...

Exhaust needs work
4.5 rc lift*
33's*
Front & Rear bumpers with tire carrier*
Fold rear lower quarters
Undercoat bottom of doors
Trim front fenders*
Trim and fold rear wheel wells
Lincoln lock the rear*
Doorless
Homemade snorkel

yesterday when I got it home

33x12.5x15 sure swamper tsl 2 are radial and 3 are bias ply , the 2 radials are going up front 2 2 bias ply are going on the rear and saving the 5th for my rear tire carrier that's about all I have for now I should have the floor and exhaust finished by tommorrow , more pics then

 

Pass side floor was gone

it was actually alot more then I thought

Started cutting and fitting pieces to patch it up



almost there got to mark some lines cut a little here and there ...


When I'm all done cutting and fitting I will be taking it all back out, panel-bond every corner and crevice.... then I will go ahead and screw it all back down, then tack-weld, panel-bond the rest of it all in.... After all that's done I will be applying some her liner or undercoating

 

Wow, that's a lot of rust!

 

Here is some of my other jeeps that I've built

The day I got it

When I sold it 4in with 34x12.5x15 trxxus mud terrain


4.5 rough country with 33 x12.5 tsl's radial


The green one was also mine I sold it to a close friend after getting the 97

My wrangler , I got it already lifted I added tires , winch and other small stuff


Fun all day adventure I ran out of gas

 

Yeah I pretty much cut the whole pass floor out and I'm in the process of finishing it

 

Finally got another jeep haha

 

Told you give me a little bit

 

Lift and wheels came in !!






Sunday I will be doing the lift in the meantime I'm still finishing the floor, exhaust and other odds and ends

 

I also cut and folded the rear wheel wells and the rear lower quarter

It's all clamped right now because my welder, the whip started acting up I'm getting a new one tommorrow

Also looking into otk system does anybody have any experience with any reasonably priced systems?
