JMCleish’s Cherokee

Well here is my sport. Bought it a year and a half ago bone stock and saved my pennies to make a capable wheeler that has some street manners as well and I would say it was a success. I have driven to and from every trail I have wheeled it on. Being in So Cal that can be quite a drive sometimes. This was a super budget build but not a chop job. I tried to spend money only where it needs to be and beg or borrow the rest. It is by no means done there are still a lot of vulnerable areas but I’m in college and have to have my priorities right…  lol

John-n-Kim’s Fullsize Bronco

It’s a 92′ ford bronco w a SAS up front using a d44 with Chevy 3/4 outers, the radius arms are a 38″ long running johnny’s at the ends.  The front coils are cage offroad’s 6″ 78-79 ford bronco/f150 springs and running there shocks as well.  it has high steer with 1 ton Chevy rod ends for steering,  the rear axle is a sterling 10.25 out of a 1 ton ford truck.  I used ruff stuff’s shackle reversal and shackle out back plus a couple extra leafs in the rear packs.  The sliders are trail gear. It has a 5.0 v8 with the e4od behind that, all that is turning 38″ x 14.50″ Nitto’s. Just a work in progress, lots of mods to come, but my junk does ok for what it is.
