    I dig your Cherokee. Great stance, purposeful, and well-kept. It looks like a pleasant ride that is able to take on anything you throw at it. Thanks for posting!

    You nailed it. That is the one. When he put it up for sale I drove my wife nuts until she agreed to drive to NC. She was sick as a dog with a cold. But like a true explorer we did sixteen hours of driving to buy this from woodkrawler. Of course the prior year I built her the TJ she always wanted!

    You are right, he did a great job and it works like a charm! Can't take credit for the build, but wouldn't trade it for anything.

    It's not much more than what you see. Old Man Emu suspension, currently with 245/75R16C Goodyear Duratracs, and a fixed-yoke conversion. It hasn't changed in years. Just upkeep.
