Re: anyone be interested in a cherokee build up?

Started lif as a cherokee with a rough country long arm 6.5 lift. Aussie locked dana 30 and welded dana 35. Both with 3.50 gears. And 36 sxs no bumpers or cage so I put a cage in it and some bumpers and wheeled it for a little while like that.
Here are some pics of what it looked like right before I started the swap.

Swapping a 9in and dana 44 under it. 4.88 gears lock rite locker in the 44 and mini spool that's welded to the case to take some of the pressure off the carrier pin in the 9 in. Putting smootg axle tubes in the dana 44 because it had cast wedges. New perches on the 9in. Leaf spring rear snd long arms up front. Took the coil spacer and blocks out so it's only a 4.5 lift now and 39.5 tsl on diy beadlocks and a stretched wheel base

That is a nice cage. I've got to get one in mine before it's to late. It's been on it's top once but was an easy roll. May not be so lucky next time.

Thanks man. Are you going to put one in yourself?

I've got a YJ cage stuck in it for now just so there's something. One day I plan on putting a real cage in it but time and funds haven't allowed it so far. My wife would hate the lower bar by the seat. She bitches about how my seats come up to high and catch her ass when she's getting in and out now. She misses the stock seats I guess.
