Haha ya but it will be unique. Not your everyday xj

 

U did say u wanted to be different! Lol! Keeping my eye on it as usual

 

Just picked up this thread. Heck of a build you've got going there I can dig it!;thumbup

 

damn you being doing work. this rig looks so good. i remeber when i helped you load your winch up at 4 wheel parts a couple years back and it was sitting on just a 4 inch lift. now it is a pretty bad azz rock krawler.

 

got the gas tank put back in and mounted up. then started on the grill. got headlight mounts welded on

 

got some better pictures. finished painting the cage and mounted the rear tire. also started pulling the rear end out to get ready for links



headlights mounted. just need turn signals



tire mounted


about where the rear end will sit

 

i like the roof rack. any good places to look to get one?

 

Why would you need turn signals if you plan on trailering it everywhere?

 

Ummm I don't have a roof rack?

I want to be able to drive it to like evans creek if I need too and not get in too much trouble with the popo. Maybe I can just use hand signals? Lol

 

you can tell you've been hangin out on pirate quite a bit. I liked the angling you did on the back of the cage. Looks so much better to have the spare angled back with a chop top. Its too much in the way to have it on the back hatch with a full bodied rig.

 

looks good! so your not going to run front fenders? Hand signals are legal, haha.

 

haha yaaa i spend waaaaay too much time over on pirate lol but ya after checkin out a bunch of pictures of cherokees i decided on the style with the tire and all that

on another note....

i got the lower control arm mounts tacked onto the axle, lower coil spring pads tacked on, truss welded together and then tacked onto the axle also. hopefully getting the frame side lower mounts welded on today. and also picking up some rear lift tj coils for the rear

 

Looking good man! You'll like the extra wheel base a lot!

 

got a few small things done today. got the truss and lower control arm mounts/coil mounts welded on good and the lower arm frame mount welded on. also cut the lower control arms to length and welded the bushings on the ends





also picked up a set of rear tj lift coils. should lift me up decently in the rear.



tomorow i should have one upper frame mount done and axle end. i am still waiting on 2 tabs to finish both upper mounts

 

Are you going to put some fish plates on the truss? Just some extra insurance.
