    Default My new beater/project trail rig

    Just picked up this 2000 Jeep Cherokee Sport. Needed something to carry my mountain bike and kayaks.Got a great deal on it, just need to replace the windshield, a fender, and install the swaybar. I will be looking into some geared and locked Dana 44s in the future

    I owned a 94 GC lerado for a while. the only thing cool about it was mudding it.

    Sway bar is unnecessary, I drove my wrangler without one for years. And, if you give it some decent gas while turning you can hit that three wheel motion... haha.

    I broke my front sway bar the first day I owned my jeep. I've been driving if for 6 months without it and its fine. It is a bit weird while crossing the mountains to get to trails. I plan on putting quick disconnects on it soon but there on the bottom of the list of part I want.

    Yeah I want the sway on to make it more streetable. I will be purchasing some quick disconnects in the next week. I already dropped a grand in parts last night and got about another $1000 more to get it where I want. I'm replacing the winch bc it's a bit rusted, so if anyone wants one for cheap; let me know.

    I would bring it down 2-3 inches if it's possible. It will feel a lot more stable. If not, upgrade the claws to 37's. I loved those tires when I had them. You just have to rotate those fuckers every 2 weeks.

    My next project in a month or two is to connect the front bumper to some rock sliders with a set of tube fender then to go from the rock slider to a new rear bumper with tube fenders and have it all tied into the frame.
