1998 Jeep Cherokee XJ SE Sport Utility 4D

I've wanted to build a Cherokee as long as I can remember but I wanted it to stand out, so I found this 98 jeep Cherokee factory 5 speed. When I bout it it had a blown engine and the rockers needed attention. So here we are 3years later squatch has a new 4.0 crate engine with a stage 2 clutch the AX-15 was rebuilt and swapped in JT D44s locked with 4.56 gears. Squatch has all the other goodies including long arms, shackle drop with a stretch, sye with 1310 drive shafts, bumpers, rock sliders and armor. And because it's a jeep the build is never done got my eyes on a super charger for the next upgrade!
