Help lol please!!!!!!
Hey everyone, I just inherited a 91 jeep Cherokee Laredo. I'm intrestred in building this Jeep to compete in a local mud bog and also for my own personal mud truck, unfortunately I know nothing about jeeps. This is the first jeep I've ever owned if it's not overly obvious already, but I also think that it's going to take a wile to fully build this thing. I'm trying to dedicate as much time as I can to research what I got to try to get an idea of what the best combos are for this jeep. I was wondering if anyone had some insight or advise reguarding this as far as, motor/ stroker, tires like 33's or 35's my class has to be 35's and under. Also are the Trans pretty durable in this model or is there a beefy option for upgrades. I wanna ask y'all the pros!!!! So please anything will help. I'm going to try and get some Picts up soon. I must say for 1$ it's the best thing I've ever got. Thanks y'all. - Andrew

It has the inline 6 motor right? Auto or 5 speed?
The I6 motor and auto trans can handle abuse... it is the axles that I would worry about.
Did you have a budget in mind?

First off go to dealership and give them your vin and et a build sheet that'll tell you the tranny type engine type axle blah blah blah. Since you don't know about jeep this is a good ways to start and see what is in your rig

Razor yes it has the I6 motor and 4.0. And budget somewhere between 5-7 k hopefully.....I figure it will take me about a year or so to build up. I just bought a spare motor today for 100$ I'm going to build it wile I drive it around.

Jcwlm- it's a 91 I think. The manufacture date is 12/90 that's why I believe it's a 91. Jeep Cherokee/ larado. Trans I'm not sure my buddy says it's the Asian one because it has a drain plug on the........tranny pan. He said the American ones don't have the the drain plugs If I remember the convo correctly. And the axels I'm not sure......

Im driving home right now be there in 20 min I wanna upload a bunch of Picts I tried to upload some last night but could
Not figure it out it was the site would not let me. I've already started to mod it. I got rims and tires for free, bought a winch and 2 hitches ran power to both hitches, mounted the winch on a removeable receiver, redid the headliner, only thing that sucks is the chick that had it before me wrecked the driver side. I found a replacement front fender but no junkyard in Fl has a replacmet driver door or rear quarter panel

As long as it's stock I believe you will have a d35 or chrysler 8.25 27 spline. Either way, you're probably going to want to do a swap. For the front a hp d30 I think,Correct me if I'm wrong. For 33's you'll probably be fine but if you go to 35's I'd suggest a truss/upgraded shafts and a few other little things to beef it up. As to the rear, I'd suggest a chrysler 8.25 29 spline or a ford 8.8.

Some jeep axles are decent. I'd say figure what you want for your rear, then gear for the size tires you're going to run, then lock it.
