This little thing is a wheelin' machine. It has a 4.0 stroked to a 4.6 liter. Ask if you want to know any other details. This is also my buddy who is buying my Ranger.

This was before:

I'm not a big fan of Jeep's, but this one is pretty sweet.

I like it. I had a few of the early Cherokees with the solid axles and they looked great lifted and with a set of nice tires and wheels!!! I'd buy that!!!!

what's he running? i think i spy a dana turdy under there.

it does look good. i've always wanted to do a mild cherokee build for something to take camping/hunting/fishing. i'm scared of the unibody frame though.

It is indeed a D30. He's running a 4.10 gear with e-lockers. The lift is a Rusty's long arm which connects the subframe front and rear. The little buggar climbs. It will still spin the tires after all the added work he's done.

Needs a cargo and spare on the top to finish it off.
Looks really nice!

That's sweet. I do love a nicely done Cherokee. Especially the older ones with the 4.0's

I think he'll keep the Ranger stock. He already has the XJ and an 09 Ram Cummins (with under 3,000 miles) . He's using the Ranger as a DD, but who knows?

I wouldn't mind owning one with the 4.0 in it. This stroker is actually pretty dang good on gas. Is the regular 4.0 good on gas too?

My biggest hang ups are the unibody, and they aren't tall/fat friendly (which I am both).
