Default I'll post a couple

Ok here a few pics of the Jeep. Its a work in progress so you'll notice no seats, etc. The Body is freshly painted and just finished rebuilding the 258 I6. Has a Tremec T150 3 Speed w/ a Dana 20 Transfer case. Wheels are a little rusted but they will be sand blasted and powder coated black.

Either way here she is:

As of now, I have my Bestop Supertop on order. I'm not going to go huge on lift because of the short wheel base, so probably a Skyjacker 2.5" Lift w/ a Daystar 1" Body lift. Enough to stuff 32's, possible 33's underneath. Pick up some Moser 1 Piece axles for the Dana 20 Rear end. Do a GM power steering swap and probably a Weber 2bbl carb swap. Fixing to rip all of the wiring out and re-wire the whole jeep w/ a Painless wiring harness. I have new Seat sliders and risers on order and a pair of Bestop Trailmax seats in my garage. Will probably Herculine the whole interior. After that, mainly little things, new bumpers, winch, etc.


Its an ongoing project, I'd say give me 6 months at the least to finish it.

I have an 01 Grand Cherokee Laredo (silver). I have pics from when my boyfriend and I went to TN this summer, but no scanner. I'll try to get them up though.

Cool. I wonder if your pictures were taken in the same locations.

His parents live in Livingston, TN - just outside of Cookeville (where TN Tech is) so the pictures were taken around that area and I think at Falls Creek Falls too.
