congrats X1994J! 2009 CHEROKEE OF THE YEAR!
X1994J
1994 Cherokee Sport
So as of this very second my Jeep is sitting at home in the garage perched on 4 Harbor Freight jack stands waiting for me to bring it back from the dead…. Again. I am smack dab in the middle of my 44/9 swap, everything has gone smooth so far, but I haven’ started the install yet. J My rig specs listed below will be based on what I have acquired for my build, but the pictures I will post will not show these mods as I have not completed the build. Part of my build includes flipping the rear leafs to gain 5 inches of wheelbase, building an anti-wrap bar for the rear, Comp-Cutting the rear quarters and incorporating some LED tails. I will also be converting the factory ford arms to a Long Arm setup using 2” DOM and Ballistic joints, building a custom cross-member, and some other odds and ends. It will be lower with a longer wheelbase, and wider, with taller tires, all good things! I will keep my build thread updated as things progress so check it out!
