This Jeep has received all these upgrades while being my daily driver, I have put 12K on the clock in the last year. I wheel it hard and drive it just as hard. It has seen 4 trips to Moab so far this year, each including the 500 mile round trip there and back. It also gets wheeled locally between the big trips. I have broken more parts than I care to add up, including blowing a motor and a transmission, two front lockers, and a front ring and pinion. Each time I try to repair it better than it was before. My plans this winter include a 44/9 with a Ford Radius arm setup out front, and a disc conversion on the 9”. Enjoy!

4:Richliveshots is my user name.

Hi, My name is Rich and I am a painting contractor in Olympia, Washington.
I bought a 95 Cherokee SE bone stock as my search and rescue rig in 2004. I then lifted it in 05 and have been working on it ever since. I have done about 90% of the work my self in my spare time. I joined search and rescue as a way to give back to the community where I was born and raised. Going wheeling soon became one of my favorite pass-times. I also found that I love fabrication, Not that Im a pro at it but I do enjoy it.
Here's the specs:
4.0 High Output with custom stainless header 2.5" exhuast and a lost cat.
4.5" lift Rough Country Suspension.
Home fab roof rack with six 100 watt spot search lights and a PSE MX7000 light bar
2 Unity piller mount police spot lights.
Home fab 5" c channel front bumper with a Vortex 10,000 LB wireless waterproof winch, 2 100 watt spot lights and Hummer D rings.
Home fab 5x2x1/4" thick tube rear bumper soon to be an air tank.
Icom 50 watt 200 channel VHF police radio.
Bearcat 50 channel scanner.
Galaxy CB Radio DX949 with a 102" whip antenna.
MB Motoring wheels and 33x12.5 BFG KM2 tires
TJ fender flares.
Home fab diamond plate body armor
Chrysler 8.25 rear end with a Lock-right locker.
Dana 30 front with a Lock-right going in some time this week.
And a loving wife

In the last year, My son bought a nice 91 Cherokee joined my SAR unit, became field certified. He has been on quit a few searches in the last 6 months and is quickly becoming one of our top mobile units. I’m very proud of him.
To sum it up I am a strong believer in what comes around goes around, and that the wheeling community is very much like that of my SAR community.
