Big Chief
A 1979 Jeep Cherokee Chief
build by @dr.deathwobble
This started as a one owner Jeep with a plow, perfect interior and a well running AMC 360 V8! Because of a transfer case going out, this Jeep sat for 15 years. We originally planned the build around Easter Jeep Safari 2018, where it was put to the test across any and all trails we could fit into our schedule for the week. We were then asked to bring it to SEMA 18 and made the current modifications. We are excited to use the Chief as a daily driver, family camper and all around attention grabber. I have no plans to wash it, just continue having fun wheeling it with my family and show the kids the outdoor lifestyle that led me to Jeeps to begin with
