New From LI

[Lifesabeach01]

Hey Guys,

Names Derek from Babylon, NY. Picked up a 2001 Cherokee in September. So far I have replaced the front seats with Corebeu RS seats, real comfortable, and I put in a yellow top optima with a kill switch to cut power just to the starter when I leave my car overnight. Not great mods yet just kept me busy for a little while. Just got my first legit job after college so I am planning on some big upgrades this Spring. I am planning on swapping in an 8.8 and a D44 hopefully with either 4:56 or 4:88. Looking at the RE Hybrid 5" lift from DPG Offroad but undecided thus yet if anyone has any suggestions. To go with the lift Ill put in an SYE and CV drive shaft. Need alot of help so any and all advice will be much appreciated. Anybody else on LI close to Babylon?

Sounds like a great plan laid out so far. Someday I would like to do something similar to what you have with that power kill to the starter...

welcome!

Kill Switch

Yea the Kill Switch was nice but it took all day. A good friend of mine helped me and we replaced alot of the wires with heavy 4 and 6 wire soldered all the connections used only brass and stainless steel. I did screw it up though. I mounted the switch so that you cant get the hood holder upper thing with out turning the switch off....Yea I had the hood up the hole day and didn't notice it until I was done. Ill post pics as soon as I get the time to take them..... Huntington is not that far! nice once I get the jeep lifted looking to get a group to go back down to Rausch Creek.... I never took my other truck down there because I didn't want to get it stuck in between two trees....picture below....

Hardest thing was getting everything in that to fit into the jeep.

We start having runs, especially to Rausch, once it starts thawing out a little bit. You should definitely come along. Our first major club ride is in April, it'll be posted up about soon

I would like to get this rig trail capable by april...waiting on my tax money back should be enough to cover lift, sye, CV shaft, and tires....

I have orders as of now to leave next wed. for a few weeks....idk where to or on what boat yet but I know ill be gone for 2 or 3 weeks.....but then ill be home for an equal amount of time which leaves me plenty of time to work on the jeep
