I do my own welding now. After 4 years of modifying I am almost done, well as done as any rig can be. My XJ has been through some of the toughest trails in the west, including the Rubicon, Fordyce, Dusy, Swamp, and two trips to Moab. It has performed well, a couple very minor trail breaks but it has always brought me back home.   Click here to see previous Cherokee of the Month winners

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone that participated in the COTM.
All the entries were very nice, each one a unique one-of-a-kind XJ, and all of them deserving of COTM. So congratulations to all of us.  It doesn't matter if you're running a budget boost and 31's or building a monster on 40's, we are all crazy about our Cherokees. I've owned a lot of vehicles over the years, but I have never modified one to extent I have my XJ, and I've never been so attached to any of them. I own a nice daily driver, but I wouldn't care much if something happened to it, but if something happened to my Cherokee id have to open a vein or something.  Thanks again everyone, I feel very lucky, happy, and honored to be this months COTM.
