Kinda funny, since I build vintage Mustangs and drive em all the time... odd familiarity there, lol.

Choppy burble of a carbed V8? Check.
Stiff *** clutch pedal? Check.
Even stiffer brake pedal? Check.
4 on the floor? Check.

But holy god it damn sure does accelerate better, haha, not to mention handle better. Mustang win? Marginally more comfortable seat.

-Finally- got around to installing my brushguard. It was a craigslist score, but it turned out I didn't have tow hook brackets, so had to get those in first. Bumper fought me a little, but it all worked out in the end.

Finally summoned up the energy to mount my 30" tires on the factory cherokee wheels. It's been about 30 years since I mounted tires by hand and to my surprise, I can still do it. lol Stuck the completed wheels and tires back on the cherokee and admired my work. Would post a pic but I haven't mastered pic posting as of yet.

Oh, almost forgot, I pulled the busted up inner liners out from under the front fenders.

That's enough for today.

Happy Jeepin'

Hey Jordan, the brush guard looks good. In case you didn't notice, someone parked their boat on top of your cherokee.

Happy Jeepin'

Default Headlight Switch

Installed a new headlight switch recently as the old one required me to wiggle it slightly to get the lights on...



Technically easy to install but it did present some frustrating moments...

its ugly!! its lifted ,home made and fenders hacked out, came with huge mud tires? ,noisy. changed tires but had steering trbl. dont like the road handleing so i use it just on the property. it also had camo paint that is slowly washing off!!, ugly!, but runs like a top,only 129000.
if it looked like the 00 i would not have bought the 00.
i didnt know the 00, 331 head stuff when i got it but i still like the body,pretty much rust free.

Swap the drivetrains on the the two then. I'd prefer the older non precat, non 0331 head, high pinion Cherokee.
