all cherokees look the same and i want a unique jeep not the same old xj. im not sure about the coilover locations just yet. the linked suspension is the last thing on my list to complete. gotta get cage done, unibody rails reinforced then start the rear end. the solution to a cheap front 44 swap is leaf springs thats where you save the money by not having to buy a whole truss or new mounts for everything

heres my update from tonight

a new item was added to the shop collection...


i got the rear bumper welded up with the new welder (welds like a dream. way better than the old 130) and painted and mounted




then i got bored so me and my buddies decided to tear the front end apart


i created a template and design for the rear tail light housings. they will be welded to the quarter panel guards and maybe the pinch seam. let me know what you think of the design.




so tomorow i am buying 4 currie johnny joints for the 3 link build. getting them for a good deal. i am also getting a sheet of 3/16ths steel to fab up my tail light housings. hopefully will have atleast one done tomorow
