Currently where the Project is at...

D44 out of F250 Front with 5.13s, chromoly shafts, Reid Racing Knuckles, Eaton E-Locker, and allot of other goodies!
D60 FF out of E-350 Rear with 5.13s, and Spool

Dimension:
Ground to Roof= 73"
Width= 86"
Wheelbase= 116"

It sits a bit wider than I would like, however I will never flip! The stance is extremely wide because of the custom 15" 8x6.5 wheels with an INSANE BACKSPACING :(

A few photos for your viewing pleasure...









Best part about having my jeep... Knowing that this road turns into a dirt road, than dead ends at my cabin, and all that land is mine to explore!



Below is the original starting post

Project GOD is underway! AKA Get outta Dodge, or in other words my Bug out Vehicle!

1999 Cherokee Limited 72k miles Perfect Interior... I was planning on Purchasing an all Stock XJ and doing the build myself however my buddy was needing to get rid of his ASAP! Needless to say I got a killer deal on a well built Platform that I just drove 106 miles back to my house with the cruise control set at 75mph! I was actually very impressed with that by itself!

Current purchased parts.
Mix and Matched 4inch SA Lift
Maxxiss Bighorn 35x12.50s
D30 high pinion Front with 4.10 gears and Detroit Locker
Chrysler 8.25 Superior 4.10 Gears Welded :(
SYE with new driveshaft
The Rear has been stretched to 112"
The Rear is also Comp Cut! which is what I wanted to do!
Fuel Tank in Cargo Area
CB/Antenna
Halogen Light kit that are REALLY BRIGHT!

I have ready to install...
Full rebuild kit for the d30 and 8.25
4.88s front and rear
Spartan Locker Front
Detroit Rear
Rustys Long Arm from my previous XJ!

Overall goal for this project is to keep it some what streetable but maintain the ruggedness of my lifestyle. My wife is actually the one that convinced me to get another Jeep so she supports me 110% We want to build this XJ to be prepared for the Bath Salt Apocalypse!

Now for the good stuff the photos! For any of yall that remember me... I spend allot of time wheeling so Look Forward to TONS more photos!













THE GOODIESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!

The Jeep shell only has 73K on the odometer, the motor is still perfect! I have a flowtech exhaust already which isnt much, I just hate the stock restrictions. I plan on possibly doing a header next spring. The Jeep will not need much POWAAAAAA since I am going for ultra crawl ratio 5:13s and the TeraLow kit will give me an insane Crawl Ratio!


However, I wouldnt mind doing some pistons, cam, injectors, and bearing/seals. haha

Ok good lol i was talking to a buddy that have the teralow kit and 4.88s i wanna say and he ran a stick first. He said first gear sucked because you couldnt bump anything, so he did the auto swap and loves it.

8.8s are great axles! I thought about going the 8.8 route, but I have been wanting to go full width for a long time!
Well now I really want full widths. Found a kingpin 60 and gm 14bolt that may have my name on it. Trying to talk my self out of it but this damn jeep thing is a terrible thing to have. How close are you to throwing them bad boys under?
