Default Capt Gruuvy is in the house

This is my Cherokee.

After searching all over the place I found this Jeep right in my own back yard (almost). This is what the Dr ordered (4 wheels, not a Jeep) and if I'm bound to 4 wheels then they are going to be very capable four wheels at that.

This is a 1992 Cherokee Sport but that is where that ends.

The engine is a 1999 Cherokee 4.0 High Output. The interior came out of the same 1999 donor Jeep.

The underside is all Rubicon Express lift and running 3:55 gears in the axles.

The kit is fun to drive and works very well. The most enjoyable part is watching Mrs. Gruuvy get in and out of it.

I may be cage bound, after a lofty 30 years behind the handlebars, but I'm not going to be bored about it .... did I mention the 1,000 watts of ear numbing madness in the back ? .....

Happy to have found this forum. I'm sure I'll have questions.

Thank you everyone.

This first week turned out to be an adventure for the new rig. The wife's car went into the shop and we spent a week touring about in the Jeep.

What a great rig. Noisy wiff the tires and suspension but other than that it carried us fine, handled corners and the freeway fine and did OK on fuel economy.

Really enjoying the new ride ... even if it has four tires on it.
