Looks awesome!! I'm hoping my 360 looks a little something like after I get it out and rebuild it one of these days. Are those stock exhaust manifolds? If so did you just clean them up and paint them?
Like the rack too. Looking good with the lift, wheels and tires. Good Choice, but that's just my opinion.

Bummer. I was going to ask about them. They look like they're good for at least 20 HP.

I really dig the rack. Your Cherokee looks real nice. I am not a big fan of new style rims, I am just am old fart I guess. That is only my opinion the rest of your mods look great!

That look's awesome. Surprisingly with the orange & black paint those wheels look pretty good on there.
We need pics of the roof rack once it is installed. I have been wanting to build one but I do not have a tube bender.

Ok, when I posted this yesterday I was in a hurry.
- BJ's 6" lift
- Dick Cepek DC-1 15x10s w/ 35 12.50 15 BFG Mud Terrain KM2s
- BJ's front cliffhanger bumper w/ stinger
- BJ's rear cliffhanger bumper w/ swingaway carrier
Roof rack based on the ORU Defender rack, my buddy Worm (yes Worm) is a metal fab genius, so we're making a bunch of stuff now.
Also welded up the holes for the old california towing mirrors...that were huge...swabbed some galva brite on them for now so they won't rust, but GOD knows how i'm going to match that paint...started off red, now it's sunset orange...or something of the sort.
Engine (9 to 9.5:1 compression)
- 401 .30 over balanced
- High compression dish pistons
- double roller timing
- Melling RV-ish cam
- Mallory HEI distributor w/ matching gears from summit
- Stock exhaust manifolds w/ the air crap welded up and plugged, ported & polished by this guy, sandblasted & painted w/ Eastwood hi-temp manifold paint
- Heads, stock iron, ported and polished by this guy
- Bulltear oil dipstick tube
- Painted the whole engine
- Edlebrock Performer RPM
- Holley Truck Avenger 670cfm
- Valve covers powdercoated aluminum that say Jeep on them so I don't forget (cant remember where i got em, but everyone has a set like them (BJs, Bulltear, etc...)
40-60 psi oil pressure at all times and still hasn't leaked a DROP! I'm pretty sure thats officially a miracle.
Bout to do a dual exhaust (havent decided on mufflers, any suggestions?), then tune the crap out of it.
I KNOW I'm forgetting some stuff...
And billy, i sure did buy it from a fellow in Gainesville, GA bout this time last year...you know the guy?
