daily driver

This is the Jeep I'm driving today... originally from our tv show and needs some updating & tlc now, but still gets around OK for now.

Description

She is just your semi-basic stock Jeep Cherokee Sport XJ with a custom front and rear bumper. I do have some plans to take my Jeep from stock to custom. She is a rolling work in progress.

1999 XJ 4.0 5M
Various trail scars and dents
Stock for now.....

Ongoing project...next item to install are bumpers & winch.

3.5" suspension lift with another 1" on the body which required the slip yoke eliminator and 1" engine lift to keep the angles right. Had 35 x 12 swampers on there with Bulletproof front and rear bumpers.

I didn't realize how well the vehicle performed until I purchased a CJ/5.

I purchased this 06' Commander in September 06. It is a Limited Edition with every option. The Powertrain consists of the 5.7L HEMI and Quadra Drive II 4 wheel drive system. I have proceeded to turn this luxury mall runner into something more suitable for trail runs.

Simple, but effective. Just needs a bit more lift and slightly taller tires, which, of course, requires steeper gearing....and, since I'd need to re-gear, I may as well upgrade to tougher axles right? Built D-44's would work nicely.....of course with D-60's, I'd practically NEVER have a worry of breaking axle pieces. Then, of course, I should probably add lockers, and maybe............wait.............(Why do I see a pattern emerging here?)

OMG, it's RED!
