I've got cab lights from a Cummins on my Jeep if that counts? Off of a good friend's truck. I'm just waiting for us to take off from a stop light and him leave a big line of soot from his exhaust up the side of my nice muddy white Jeep.

Love parkin next to the stock Jeeps! Don't care what they are if it's a stock jeep you always get the looks! I think almost everyone that does custom stuff to their rides somehow park next to the stock counterparts! My buddy with a Yota Taco on 35s Loves doing it 2! Especially when you find the same color, thats the best!

Don't know about the 6BT it may be to much for the cherokee's uni-body. I think the 4BT is even pushing it. Atleast that's what I've heard from others. But the 6BT would be nice though.

Its a great place if youve got a four wheeler, but trails for anything larger than a UTV is lacking (my area atleast) unless you dont care about landowners permission (less than ten percent of Maine is publicly owned ). Lots of logging and old logging roads though, its nothing extreme but it gets you to a lot of good fishing/hunting/camping spots.
Which part of Maine would you want to go to?

Most are pretty docile but Ive come across a few moose that are very aggressive... I advise against throwing stuff at them. Unless youve got a proper rifle, and are lucky enough to win the moose lottery.... which I havent even done.

But to get it back on track & Jeep related - what they need to do is build the Jeep Gladiator concept and stuff a Cummins in it, or at the very least, some 4 cylinder turbo diesel.
Jeep won't put out a truck, because they want to keep their Dodge branch happy.
