b16gsr Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 So after many years of searching for a MJ, I found one here. http://comancheclub.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=33729 My buddy is picking it up from Joe tomorrow for me. I have some plans for it, noteably the interior and exterior swap, and maybe a motor swap. I will start a build thread when I get started. Here is our current Cherokee, which is number 6 or 7, and is a great little unit. 2000 Jeep Cherokee Limited 181K miles We are the second owners of this XJ, which was incredibly maintained by the previous owners. Suspension: 2.5" Rough Country 4 cyl TJ coils 2" OME DR22X AAL JK Rubicon shocks Rancho RS5000 Stabilizer Zone BPE for rear Wheels/Tires: 16" TJ Rubicon MOABS 255/70/16 Goodyear Wrangler MT/R Other Notable Modifications: Jeep Cherokee Tent Autopal H4 Conversion Surco Roof Rack 50" Detours Offroad Hardware "Tailbone" (being built) Husky Liners Exterior LED's Lots and lots of paint polishing (I am a detailing nut) Started like this: To this: And finally here: I am a certified automobile nut, and Jeeps have struck a chord with me. I am looking forward to finally building the long bed Comanche Classic that I have always wanted. Thanks for looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Sam Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I think the icons looked better than the moabs, but to each their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The change to the MOABs was I had an offset issue with the icons and mt/rs sidewall lugs rubbing the lca's. The change eliminated this issue.

I am fine with the way it looks now, pretty basic setup that is not stock. I will save the fun for the MJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
