they were all cherokees originally. they still have the unibody underneath. (the red one is a custom built one thou). most of them still had the originally dash/steering column as well.

they look severely "ghetto"....and heavy

 

[JeepAddict85]

i really like them. they cut off so much weight...why do u say they are heavy?

 

[YJ-GENRAL]

beacuse of all the tubing im guessing...

 

[YJ-GENRAL]

im thinking that the first guy that did that had the logic like this... goign to put in full roll cage whats the point of having anything but the floor, firewall and front end?... does that... beats the fenders so badly just takes them off... adds tubing... now all thats left is a hood... eh scrap it put little more tubing and some sheet metal on there and call it a day... results are cherokee boat sided and all metal replaced with tubing...but the floor...

all that unnecessary tubing and trying to incorporate the unibody into the whole thing. just adds lots of weight... as well as the cut tractor tires on the one with stock axles.

my xj is heavy enough as it is... i couldnt imagine 150+feet of extra tube...

if i had to build a buggy.. the cherokee would not be my first baseline.

just my .02

agreed, fullsize frame... then everything else i want in a buggy... or just tub the whole thing out like jimmy smith frames heh

 

[256offroad]

or just tub the whole thing out like jimmy smith frames heh

exactly... but even then most if not all his chassis have +250' of tubing! but they are meant to be beat like a red headed step child...

Well, your photographer broke his stuff first thing saturday and left.

He didn't leave right after he broke, he rode with me for a couple of hours after that. Im pretty sure he got some pics of us.
