This will be a thread documenting the build of my dad's Jeep.

Before someone says it...yes, I realize it's not four wheel drive. Get over it :sonicjay: I bought the Cherokee and never had the time to do what I wanted with it so I gave it to my dad. He wanted to put it on 1 ton axles up until I bought my Prerunner. So the plan changed again and it's getting custom twin I-beams and radius arms up front as well as rear four link. It's behind schedule so Ryan is going all out this week and he is delivering it across the state to us Saturday :woot:

Basics are:
King remote resi coilovers front and rear
600 HP 7500RPM small block
2 speed powerglide
Ford 9" with 4.56s and a spool
33" General Grabbers
18-20" of travel up front
24-26" of travel in the rear
Corbeau seats
Full cage of course

Here's some pics of the progress:





Ryan asked my dad "Do you realize what this thing is going to do?" :sonicjay::sonicjay:
