It is supposed to be the world's "quickest" (not fastest) street legal Cherokee.

That has been on Ebay several times. Each time the starting bid was 30K.

Like it or not it's still a Cherokee. And it's a very well built one at that. Not every Jeep is used for off-road driving, mine included.
I wonder if the fastest mud racing Cherokee is still "Street legal"? Or a successful Pro rock crawler Cherokee that can make that claim?
I'm sure there's more productive things to do than to bash a nicely built Jeep because we don't like to see a Jeep built for drag racing.

Is a cherokee light enough to make sense to tub out ? cherokees must have a capable drive line otherwise to me it just would'nt be advantageous to spend so much money on a rod you'll never get your money outta of.. an old '62 nova rusted out, build it up.. that makes sense .. you can get your money back.... but a cherokee??? I'm sorry this person must have a love for jeeps or to much money, to me this is like good money after bad... He'll never sell that thing.......... Now if it was a monster rig.. that maybe different as some of these tricked class 5 baja's/rails sell for close to 100K or more..

You obviously have no clue what it takes to run 9 seconds in the quarter mile.* He's got a lot more than $30,000 in that Jeep!
*Which has been changed to 1,000 feet since this XJ was built and timed, so it is probably in the eights now.

Heck... He might have $30k into the motor and drivetrain alone...
Guys around here are spending $50 to over $100k on their offshore boat engines. I saw a guy at the marina the other day with a 50' or 51' Outer Limits that my Son told me has $130k in each Supercharged engine. The guy buys parts off my Son...
