White Jeep Build

[RedJeep2.0]

A while back I bought a plain 1997 jeep Cherokee.

Manual windows
manual door locks
Power mirrors
rear wiper
A/C

The plan was to daily drive.





After being sideswiped by a hit-and-run driver and sliding the jeep into a tree on a Christmas tree run





I decided to make it my wheeler



so the plan....

Part out black jeep, move is many parts over to the new jeep as I can.

Doing things like Frame stiffeners and other things on the way.

Get it dialed in with the parts I have 30/8.25 4.56 locked 4:1 sye 2low bumpers seats ect...

then start working on swapping to my Dana 44 and 8.8

My end goal would be 37s, cage, atlas while keeping it super street able and clean interior.

Last weekend I worked in the Frame stiffeners



Here I painted the inside












I only did the front, so I can get my bumper on, I will end up doing the middle when I put the long arm on.

The reason behind that is if you put the midsection on before cutting off the lower control arm mounts you have to cut the frame stiffener down, and I don't want to cut it down just to have to piece it back together.

Had to get some organizing done but I got her in almost hover mode

 

[R.DesJardin]

Awww, the openness of a new shop, mine looked that way for about 6mo. 8yrs later not so much, time for a run to the dump and recycler, then some organizing of all the "good" stuff I think I need to keep.

So I have been making a big deal about wanting to use my A/C while wheeling in the summer so I installed two 7" electric push fans and that cooler is my power steering.

The idea was the electric fans would help the stock electric fan and the clutch fan pulls enough CFM by its self.
