Im likening this conversion, except I would love to see that 3" lift on it.

And nice to see another pa person, except im 3 hours north of you

 

Other vehicle build below.

 

Im getting ready to build my shed and probably where Im going to keep my Cherokee in along with my parts and tools. And since I'll have my own storage area, I can have all my custom mod parts.

Im probably going to get rid of the other build page "Avalanche" and put them both on here to make it easier for me since im doing the same thing to them.
So Im probably going to be buying all new "Used, but new to me" cladding for painting as I said before I dont mod/paint the original parts if I ever want to go back to the original way. Heres a photoshop of the sails matching body color for now.



Heres my 2002 Avalanche, basically picking up after the Cherokee XJ 2001 ending and I guess the new Cherokee 2014 coming out... after my Avalanche ending 2013.

 

Going to be getting a new set "Used" of the door side cladding and make it smooth.

 

So im trying to get back to messing with the Cherokee, low on funds due to building the shed for my parts. Im thinking of doing the Jeep 2500 conversion. But im only going to do the front clip/bumper, tailights and possibly the mirrors, no side trim or roof rack. Im sure the 97-01 flairs will fit fine with the bumper. It may take awail as Im doing the Escalade EXT conversion of my Avalanche too. Im thinking of doing all 4 front clip mods for the Avalanche but want a vote on this one, as seen above is my blue 02 Avalanche, so far I have the rims and grille and back sails off the EXT of a 02-06.

And yes this is the truck from "The Matrix Reloaded" Im on the forms for these trucks and wanting to do the 07-13 conversion but people are giving me a hard time on their saying it will look like crap or its not possible to convert a 02-06 to a 07-13. And yes 2013 is the last year for these trucks. Heres a image I found of a 02-06 EXT with a front clip of a 07-13 front clip "Orange truck": http://www.cadillacforums.com/forums...ont-end-2.html

Heres the 07-13 Avalanche and EXT trucks:

So since I like the Cherokee XJ and the AV/EXT vehicles Im trying to do all the versions of the 2, Saves on space and money from buying the actual vehicle. So should I carry this out for these mods? And yes I plan on keeping them in stock form.

 

I still have the 3" Lift kit if anyone is wanting to buy it $60.00. I also have the back bumper end caps of a 97-01 and front bumper end caps. I have cut some of the hold ons on these to fit my Cherokees fenders but still will stay onto yours $40.00 I have panted them red. My have some more parts, just getting ready to move some stuff to the shed.

 

do you know of any good jeep junk yards around here? i cant find any at all. Your jeep is looking nice too by the way

 

i've seen a comanche get a jeep 2500 front end conversion and im pretty sure it comes as a kit header panel, and fenders the header panel wont work with 97-01 fenders unless you trim them, because of the angled slant.

 

Dansers Greensburg, mainly blairsville Dansers has lots of Cherokees. blairsville is the one I got all my parts from. You can go into the blairsville one and get what you want, I think Greensburg your not allowed in, you asked what you want and they get it.

 

Im going to be doing some touchup on my Cherokee, I already got 2 new brake drums and painted them. Im also going to be taking off the gas tank skidplate and sand it down and repaint it. Im still trying to find out what to do about the rattling tailpipe. as it looks like a brace rusted off it or something. And dont mind the chicken wire in the image as it was something I found and it stopped the rattleing but dont like it their.


Would anyone consider this bad? Or do I just need to replace the floor pans. I do have the Inter and Out RockerPanels both sides. This is looking from the back to front, Most Cherokees Ive seen, this is where it rusts the most.


I plan to get the entire underneith sanded down and repainted.

 

Any updates?

 

Well Im going to be painting the inside wells where the motor is with a close red spray paint match since I dont have to be dead on color but I have a very close color red. I think I got some pics of removing the air filter box and cleaning everything pics. For the Avalanche to Escalade EXT conversion I just did a small project today. Semi nice out.







The Cadillac Motor cover is really a 3 peice set but just orderd the top cover. The rest would cover the altinator and the other half. I'll try to find a link to that.

Shined up the stock 02-06 Escalade EXT Rims, Need to order the center caps for them tho.
