So as many of you know I sold FIN*.
I picked up a stock 2000 Cherokee in January 2013.
The day i picked it up
Specs as i bought it:
4.0/aw4/231
30/29 spline 8.25
160k miles
4 Bald-ass mismatched tires
Drove it stock for a while... wheeled it stock.
This is the result of that.
Then decided to keep it relatively clean...
After a while the supension was so saggy that my tires would rub on any pothole hit... so i put an upcountry suspension on it coupled with bilstien 4600's
Having bought a house, I make trips back and forth to Lowes/Home Depot on the regular and I got tired of my jeep getting torn up with 2x4's and drywall so i bought a 4x6 utility trailer(look for a build thread on that in the future... think expedition trailer.)
BUT... my jeep did not have a hitch so i bought a hidden hitch and some JCR nutstrips and went to install that. What i found is what sparred the next round of mods.
So i drew up a rear cut and fold bumper in AutoCAD 2015
Designed by M.U.D (Mayhem Unlimited Design)... Future company????
Started making that bumper
