Sorry, I had to....

Oh, our old '91 Cherokee was a trooper. Still couldn't keep rear shocks in it, and the head ticked even worse than the GC, but it ran like a top and was SO much more powerful. Well, not likely more powerful, but it had half as much truck to push around. My biggest regret was 'upgrading', but the '91 was side-swiped, and we needed a decent looking rig for a company vehicle.

Ugghhhh a 350? Come on a 304 or a 401 or even a 258 would be much sweeter and turn many more heads!


Wow, I'm sorry man, I honestly missed your reply.:hick:  The main reason I want to put a 350 in it is for the simplicity of it.  350's are readily had, and nowadays cheap to pick up.  Plus the huge aftermarket for them as well as the fact that there's a company that makes the motor mounts to convert a Jeep's motor mounts over to a 350 motor mounts.  Yea, I'm going to take the wussy way out, and get away with lil to no fab work to put the motor and tranny in, but as I live in an apartment, and only have a storage unit as a work space, it'll be easier to do.

New updates and plans.  The '86 is now gonna end up with a 4.uh oh out of a '90 Cherokee, as well as the grey interior.  The '88 has just been lowered in the front, and I have a set of racing seats to put into it when I get time to build the brackets for it.  Here's the new pics of the stance, and the seats.  Enjoy, or not, you're choice.  Just thought I'd let everyone know I hadn't died off yet and share what I've been up to lately.

Not bad for only a year old and $175 shipped from Florida, eh?



The difference in the ZJ (Grand Cherokee) rear coils (left), and the MJ (Comanche) front coils.  All told, they brought the front end down 2".


Finished stance.


Yea, I had to take it up the RTI ramp for fun; didn't do too bad actually.
