i know its not a grand prix but i figured i would share a little about what i have been up to the past couple of months.
after i got the gtp the way i wanted it i didnt have anything else to tinker with. and seeing as its running strong with no signs of stopping i decided to look around for a project.

i found this for 300 bucks. its a 1989 jeep cherokee 4.0l auto 4x4. it has 120,000 miles and surprisingly runs great. its rust free and had a straight body. the front was a little smashed from a crash but i could deal with that.

me and my friends stripped it sold the parts bought a used lift and tires and wheeled the piss out of it.


needless to say i started to fall in love with it and decided to tackle the process of making it the coolest cherokee ever.
so i cut the top off

then i brought my freinds over and we started doing body work



then i found someone parting out a 1997 2 door cherokee and scored some banged up parts for super cheap

they were banged up kinda bad but i figured the bodywork would be fun

i also got a comanchee tailgate (jeep cherokee pickup) and started fabbing a way to have a working tailgate

keep in mind i have never welded before this project^

this is before and major bodywork

haha dude thats awesome!! so how close to finishing it are you?

we shaved the side blinkers and fixed the dents and scratches

thats badass how come i cant find any cool cars like that for 300

then we traced and cut out the fenders for the wrangler fender flares (it is sopposed to be wavy thats the footprint of the flare)

stuck the flares on a trimmed up the sides


and here is what i have as of today

that truck is BA man!!

i still have a lot left to do. plans are for it to eventually be street legal.

i still have to put the back flares on

i am going to mold caddy tail lights in

going to add a roll bar

front winch bumper
and a lot more

please tell me what u think. all advice is helpful. i have never done anything like this before. my friend(the guy working in all the pictures) is helping me with the bodywork but everything else i have done alone

total invested so far: under 1000 bucks

haha it wasnt that cool when i paid 300 for it

I'm likin it. I'd look at getting rid of the doors altogether.

One of those tube style baja type bumpers would look good on the front. For your winch you can put a 3" reciever on both the front and rear so you can move the winch to which ever end you need to use it on.

Instead of just a roll bar how bout a tube cage that sits outside of the body so when you roll the cage takes the abuse and not the body.

something like this

he wants to make it street legal Herc. lol Im pretty sure the outside rollcage isnt going to be street legal..unless im wrong.

that's awesome dude, I love to follow custom projects like this.

What caddy lights are you using?

Have you ever put that snorkel to use yet?

its legal. and the worse the bodywork the better for me lol

thats bad! i like it.
