Pimped out cherokee?

[holley68]

Well some local has a mid to late 70 cherokee. Its baby blue, with looks like 20in. chrome rims. What the hell!:banghead: Its a shame for a jeep to not be used for what it was made for. In may opinion. So what do yall think. :thumbsup: or thrumbs down.

[holley68]

I know I need pics. Will try to get them soon. But only saw it a couple of times.

[Heavy_Metal_Thunder_81]

Their Jeep, their choice. Different strokes for different folks...
Ryan from BJs Off Road has an '88 GW rollin on 20s.

[fulsizjeep]

but is it really rolling or still on jack stands?

Ryan doesn't share much about that project...

Well, since you asked what I THINK.....

Couldn't agree with you more. :)

[skeletor]

a grand wagoneer can get away with it many more times than a cherokee, i mean those are just wood grain station wagons :D .

[holley68]

Don't get me wrong it is a sharp FSJ. But not my slice of pie.

[jaber]

Maybe his "offroad" tires are in the garage?? :D

[TXstumblefoot]

as long as the chrome 20" rims have some 38inch boggers on them I'm Ok with it. Dont know if you can get 20" wagon wheels.

[PlasticBoob]

Welcome to the IFSJA, TXstumblefoot! :)

Ahem......22's ;)

Sure, sure.....but then again, if you read JJ mag, you'd know everything about it :) I had it running and have been working out the kinks (a few wiring issues that I think I've nailed down), and found that the motor had quite a few bad bearings. I've since yanked the motor and am about to start a cool build. I've also converted the front to a 2wd axle and am making a few other changes.

For those that don't like FSJ's on pimp rims, that's cool. I figure as long as the person that owns it likes it, that's what counts. I can justify my pimp-rig on 22's since I also have a Chero on 35's and a J10 that I'm building into a trail rig w/ 38.5's.

If you can get pics of the Chero, please post them......

[fulsizjeep]

humphhh... :rolleyes:

Well, when you are ready, you will share it here and I'll drool on my keyboard. That make ya happy mon? :fsj:

[billyrb]

buddy, I'm already happy :D When I finish the engine and get it back in / make the other mods, I'll post it here along with some videos......

[fulsizjeep]

okee dokee, I'll be waiting... :thumbsup:

[holley68]

Ok Yall are right. 35s on 20s are nice. I just would hate to polish all that chrome after going mudding.

[billyrb]

I wonder how many other FSJ's are out there with pimp wheels.....we should start posting pics we find of them here :)

[yoslvr442]

down here they put 20's or larger an EVERYTHING. im suprised i havent seen one yet.

[billyrb]

Nope....photochopped would be cool too.

[Justin Kerns]

Around here it's referred to as "Krek orange" :p

[mattmopar440]

I think an SUV Sport Utility Vehicle meaning you can race it, off road it,curse low and slow, or hall you camper around anything you can think of a jeep can do and do well :D :thumbsup:

I've been trying real hard to dislike this one but its not working. :(

i was gonna guess Copperhead Metallic but not quite orange enough to be that color. sharp looking photo-chop though. not something i would build but definitely cool

eric

[mudhunter241]

I give it the fact that you dont see to many, if any, like that! Its cool

[Dmntxn77]

My thoughts exactly....

Minus the chrome Z3 hoops though...

Good call... although I'd probably do "speedster bumps" behind the seats.

This photochop is haunting me... I'm having really bad thoughts about a custom tube chassis with double A arm independent suspension, a new LS7 engine backed by a six speed...

"Krek Orange"? I think my body shop guys will get a kick out of that. :)

it's like a 50's Nash all grown up. That'd be a sweet ride..perhaps use the roof metal for the rear cargo pan, keep the ribs in there :)

Nothin you could do in an afternoon with a sawzall, a mig, and some bondo! :D

[krek]

Looks like a Cherokee that has been sectioned (I think that's the right term... shortened?) in front and behind the rear wheel... the rear wheel well has been changed also?

Must finish the Super Chief... must finish the ChopTop... :banghead:

[TPICherokee]

Looks like they used the front fender wheel well to make the back wheel well...

It started as a 1973 wagoneer. I didn't shorten it, I lengthen the door.
plus alot of little changes. I flared both wheel wells

Minus the chrome Z3 hoops though...

those are Audi TT hoops :D

[Heavy_Metal_Thunder_81]

youre all wrong, theyre Porsche.

Man, how do you all do this stuff? I have a copy of Photoshop CS3, but it takes me an hour just to do a color change when I am playing with ideas.. i have no idea how you do all that other swanky stuff and make it look so real.

I attempted to get an idea of what my NT would look like in Rescue Green. I used BEV25's sweet looking rig as a start. I have no idea how you move stuff around in the picture, etc. (forum does not like me tonight...each time I shrink a pic file and try to upload, it tells me it is over size even though under the listed size limits..)

That is a sweet looking concept. My wife even gave it a "wow..can yours look like that?"

THat is some really cool work.

Giggity giggity goo....... :D

The 993 is my favorite of the 911's......pure artwork.

[PlasticBoob]

LOL Are you guys talking about the chrome roll-bars? Because those wheels look like the plastic Autozone specials. ;)

[Stuka]

I did these photochops years and years ago, but what the hell :)
