Here's a picture of my rig, does it belong in here or in the OEM section? I picked it up from a car lot for $1200,
I had a cherokee years ago, this was just too good of a deal to pass up, bought it for the better half but all that has changed, she has her eye on something else do that means it can now do some offroading. The previous owner must have narrowed a nine inch rear axle and dropped it in, it also has a locker. heres a shot of that.
the only major rust it has is in the rockers, I'm thinking of cutting them out and welding in square tubing, I did alot of searching on that in here and like the idea, just which idea to follow,its been done a few ways, any ideas on which way is the easiest and best way?
it came with this rear bumper that matches the contour of the side of the body, I don't have any idea what brand it is, the plan is to weld a spare tire mount on it as it swings away from the rear door, and relocate the license plate and then sand it down and cover it with herculiner.
the next two shots are of the suspension, the first being the rear springs with some kind of helper spring, anyone ever see this or know what it is? also the front suspension with the sway bar disconnects. I got a few odd weekends jobs to do for friends then I'm going to dig in and start changing it and get it ready for the trails.
