Listen to that 4.3 liter of fury purr sounds good man whats done to it other than a straight axle swap extended wheelbase and swampers and probly lincoln lockers looks pretty built. diggin those rims
Just a great ZJ man, I'm not usually a fan of the chopped rear. But yours looks pretty good, and I understand having to do it. Really great build you've got man, this thing performs incredibly well. Show's you know what you're doing, and how to use it.
Thumbs up for sure. Are you on NAGCA, or Mallcrawlin?
Thanks, I'm also not a huge fan of chopped cherokees because many are not up to par (visually and structurally). I spent a great deal of time planning how to build it and make it aesthetically pleasing..
question? did you do anything to the chassi? to re-enforced it? hit me up.. im thinking of either fixing mine or selling it and building a tj.. hit me up.. thanks,
I covered the sub frame in 1/4" plate to mount the long arms to the body. It minimizes the chance of ripping through the thin metal. The other obvious thing is the rear cage. I crushed in the back corner in a flop in my friends front yard, in order to regain the structural integrity lost, I built a cage to tie into the existing top. I've seen people just cut the back off without tying that back in I don't recommend that because the unibody was designed to share the load.
Thanks, I have a full width corporate 14 bolt 5.13's and a ARB in the back and Ford HP Dana 60 in front with a spool (at least until the Yukon Zip locker comes out for the Dana 60). It has a custom suspension I built with about 6' (or a little more) of lift. I fit the 39's under after trimming off much of the body and patching it back up.
