Year: Started as a 1987
Model: Cherokee
Engine: 4.0 Renix
December 2017 COTM Voting Thread
There isn't much Cherokee left except the front clip but here is my submission for August.
I started with a 1987 XJ with the 4.0l engine, NP231 t-case, and AW4 transmission. It now has a full tube chassis with an XJ front end and rear "tail gate". The front axle is a Dana 30 that has been sleeved, it has RCV's, and an ARB locker. The rear axle is a Dana 44 that has been trussed, it also has an ARB, chromoly axle shafts, and a disc brake conversion. The suspension is a 3-link with coilovers in the front and a 4-link with coilovers in the rear. It also has over the knuckle crossover steering with hydro assist, UHMW flat belly and boat sides, RCI fuel cell, suspension seats, 4-point harnesses, Raceline beadlocks, and 35" tires. The wheelbase has been stretched to 104" and the belly height is 20". It is also still street legal.

September COTM Submission
Jeep "Dragoneer" - Full Airbrush Custom XJ
I have had this old Jeep for over 10 years and bought it stock. Me and this ol' Jeep have been through everything together. I have had her offroading and mudding in all sorts of places in Southern Illinois, Missouri, and Wisconsin (I rather trail and climb than mud though).
I had just started airbrushing last spring and was tired of airbrushing on paper so I decide to practice on that old rattle can blue Jeep of mine. So I brought the header panel in the house and played around with it. I like it so next the hood came in. After that I spent 2 months in the back yard under a pop up canopy airbrushing this Jeep. Now I gotta get it performing as good as it looks..... so along came all these upgrades below. Hubby helped me swap the axles, lift, tires, etc this spring.

New here so please forgive me if I am doing this wrong. It tells me I can't vote because I don't meet the criteria. I have over 25 posts so not sure why that would be? I vote for number 3 because it is not only trail capable but very cool and unique! #1 has mall tires. #2 is a rock buggy with a Cherokee grill. #3 should win, as I previously said. #4 and #5 are both awesome rigs, but do not have the trail capability of #3 (no winch).
