Project "Swapped"

[LittleD]

Don't have many pics so far but this is from this weekend. hope to have it all done by september, paint and all

It is a 1989 Jeep Cherokee Laredo, 4 door, full power. Got it for $300 bucks. Needed a alternator, 2 front doors, and a hood.




This is the jeep im taking the parts from

8.8

today i got the rear leafs bolted, took a while to cut out broken leaf's around the bolt and broke the two bolts in the shock mount and had to ez-out them



still have to do brake line, driveshaft(have to change the angles with the t-case so the t-case dosen't shatter again) drop the t-case down and switch x-member.

Today i completley finished the front end. Determined ill need to trim the flares. don't want to fully pull them off yet. Gotta replace tie-rod(jack slid off axle housing and blew it out.)
Still have to do: Brake Lines, T-case Drop along with x-member switch, Replace glass in Drivers door, replace headliner, Do both bumpers and mount lights, Install rock sliders after some repairs. And lastley throw some enamel paint on.

Last weekend i finished up on doing the brake lines, have to get my discs grinded down cause they have rust from 2 years ago. I took it up and down the street(rt.7) with the doors off and it went surprisingly well.



Still have to do: Front and rear Bumper, Headliner, trim my fenders but leave the flares on. Change cross member, and a complete fluid change

Next weekend hopefully i'll have time to do some electrical work (lights and radio)

Today i decided to just finish the front bumpa, i had it in the garage for a week stripped down to nothing. Had to re-do the Highlift bolts cause one snapped off and the other was close to nothing



Not much i can do this weekend, need to hook up the e-brake cables, and take a saw to my fenders. Any one have any tips for re-gluing a headliner? the 357 spray adhesive didn't work to well on the other headliner

I would just pull the headliner down. No matter what you do to them they never seem to fit right again

the other jeep i had i glued it, the next week it was falling down again

Today i made a trip out to the JY and pulled a set of tj flares. Should i cut off the centering tabs used on the tj? and the lip that runs along the inside, do i have to cut that off to?

[XJtheXtremeJeep]

4.10 gears on 38's.... thats why he needed a new one

[Magilla]

no he could not get it towed by someone else to the trails for a ridiculously menial amount of money

[LittleD]

no, the floors were rotted out, huge oil leak, ripped up interior, broken coil mount
