It will have to stay on 33" tires for now, with all the money going to my various projects I don't have the cash to buy new ones right now.

[lilzuki]

well lets plan some long nights we both do about the same amount of work at work so im good for 2 or 3 laght nights a week

Progress at last!

Started the weekend with Tom finally finishing all the welding from the firewall back, welding the original sheet metal to the tube took a really long time, but this should be one stiff Cherokee. :awesomework:

Also the grab handles I made for my wife and I are now welded in, they came out fairly nice if I do say so myself.

While Tom was finishing up all that welding I started on a completely different project, turning an old camper frame into a flat bed car trailer, I might start a build up of that if anyone is interested, but my first priority is getting the Cherokee finished. Anyways here is what I am starting with, that

Anyways we bought some uni-body rail stiffeners from dr drae (I think that

 

[FiFo]

That was John (Avanteone) of Auburn Car Repair. Everything is lookin good! :awesomework:

Doh! I thought that was the name he went by on Naxja, but thought he used your name here. :booo:

Oh, well either way I figure his stiffeners saved me a couple hours work, for what I paid for them they are defiantly worth it. :awesomework:

He wishes he was as cool as me.

I have a set of those too, gotta get mine installed. :corn:

 

[FiFo]

I made a trip up to Toms on Monday to try and get the Cherokee ready for this weekend. The carpeting that we pulled out went strait into the dumpster, so I decided to put a coat of that

 

[FiFo]

as of 11:45 PM. the Cherokee lives again :awesomework:

I see no proof of this:fawkdancesmiley:

 

[KarlVP]

I had the pleasure of taking it on it's maiden street voyage with him. I got to ride in the winch bitch seat and we cruized the neighborhood.

It's one bad mofo now.

I see no proof of this:fawkdancesmiley:

Took this shot of the instrument panel while I was revving the engine with the transmission in park, so :fawkdancesmiley:

Here it is after me and Karl took it for a spin around the block, I've done so many little projects to it this week to get it ready for this weekend that I don't know what to say, the winch in front was hooked up this morning and works fine, I got the seats and seat belts in last night. My wife decided that it needed to be blue, so that is the color I painted it, just cheap rattle can paint from home depot. The CB antenna was moved to the back from its original location on the front fender, assuming I can find a new CB cable tonight before I head out I will have that up and running for this weekend.

Finally here is a shot from the drivers seat

Now I got to get back to packing, I have to round up all the crap (spare parts and tools) I took out of the jeep so that I can put it all back, as well as get my camping gear together. Hopefully I will have pictures later this week of it in action.

 

[FiFo]

Well, I lost the cable that connects my camera to my computer, and was to busy to track down a new one, so the pictures are WAY late. But here they are at last.

Tom was nice enough to tow my XJ out to Buck Meadows along with his girlfriends TJ (2 car trailer). Here I am putting gas in it, didn
