I was not sure where to post this so feel free to move it if necessary.
I pulled into my local pull-it-yourself yard on Saturday and I saw a monstorous Cherokee in the parking lot so of course I had to park next to it and get a better look. It was a Cherokee body with the unibody frame rails chopped and modified to mount on what looked like a Blazer frame. (The K5 Blazer emblems on the body tipped me off) The drivetrain looked like it was from the Blazer as well. I am not sure if the frame was narrowed or not but I think it would have to be. The width of the 35x12.50 tires on Dana 44 axles were just barely inside the bushwacker fender flares. Now my Cherokee is lifted 4.5" inches on 33s and this thing was a good 12 inches taller than mine. I think it would be very top heavy with lots of body roll. Or would the weight of the frame with heavier drivetrain keep the center of gravity low? Any comments or concerns on this? Or maybe if the owner of said vehicle that was parked at Pull-N-Save in Spokane, Washington on Saturday October 6, 2007 can speak up, I would like to learn more on this idea.
