Bought a new (kinda) Chief today...*Pics*

[Dmntxn77]

Well, I was given the opportunity to buy my 79 Chief back. I have a whole collection of parts to put on it, and I am SOOO excited. I dont think that I will stray away agin. I love these rigs, and the people that come along with them.. :thumbsup:

Specs: 79 Cherokee Chief W/T, 360, T18, D20, SOA/Flip, High Steer, HD44/D60 FF, 35x14.5/16.5 SSR's


Here is what it looked like when I brought it home for the first time back in 04.

This it after the SOA, and almost how it looked when I sold it last year (May I think)..

Now, this is it today. Almost EXACTLY the way I sold it. The other guy never drove it, and the rear brake lines still have not been hooked up from the J20 axles swap that I did right before I sold it..

It's funny how these things can go back and forth between people.

Two of my FSJs went back to the person I got them from!

Man that thing is nice. Glad to see you got it back, and this time don't sell it. Great lookin Cherokee.:thumbsup:

Good on you, man! :thumbsup:

Looks like the tin worms got to it a little more since you sold it.
I think that I like the smaller black mirrors, what are those from?

LOL

[Dmntxn77]

Yeah, it is amazing how fast rust and sludge will grow here in the PNW..

I am trying to buy body patches at the moment to fix all that..

I dont remember where I bought the mirrors. If you want them, send me $20 and I will mail them to you.. I have other plans.. :D

[shepherdskeep]

Congrats Robert, very nice Chief! :cool:

[KaiserMan]

That's cool, glad you got it back.

[Dmntxn77]

That's cool, glad you got it back.

Yeah, me too!

It was one of those deals where I HAD to sell it since I was moving, and had no way to get it there.

I have missed it ever since..

It is in a bit worse shape than I remembered it was in though :eek: , but thats ok, I know a place where I can find all the parts and help that I need.. :thumbsup:

[grand_wag_85]

Sweet Cherokee!

[jeeping1974]

at least you know that he neve beat on it.

[Lindel]

Yeah, if you can't find parts in Amarillo, you can't find parts anywhere!

Congrats!

Actually, I was refering to the forum.. :thumbsup:

Is there a good yard in Amarillo? I havent lived there long, and as soon as I got my house built and all settled in, the Air Force called me back up to Washingtion for a while (AGAIN)...

I have noticed though, there are TONS and TONS of Waggys, and several J-trucks cruising around.. I havent seen a Cherokee yet that I can remember..

I too would like to know if there are some good yards in Amarillo. That would be great if there are.

500 miles is a long ways to go for a yard... :drivin:

[mattmopar440]

hope you have with your new rig i cant wait to get off work and go roading

[Howard1964]

I would LOVE to have a lift like that on the "Duck Blind" (name of my wag). But i have heard for long distance driving, the big tires are not very economical.

[Dmntxn77]

Economical.. Who need economical... :D

Actually, with my T-18 I get about 13-15 mpg with the SSR's...

But, even if I only got 8 mpg, I still would not have it any other way.

[jeepdad56]

Good luck with the new/old ride!!! Gas mileage ? What mileage :D ?

[Jeep_Guy]

Thats really cool. I wish I could buy back some of the old vehicles I've had. Congrats!
