  JEEP CHEROKEE (more info)
COMPLETE

We purchase this Cherokee from a close friend that used it for mild exploring since it was new. He moved on to a Land Rover Disco with great regrets...

We started by giving the XJ )named Scofield in reference to its previous owner) a thorough cleaning. From there we went through the mechanicals to make sure it was ready for another 10 or more years of realible backcountry travel.

We then added a Skyjacker lift, Durango 4x4 front and rear bumpers, and a set of BFG MT tires.

We modified it to semi-1976 specs with a Skyjacker lift, narrow BFGs, and a lot of help from Specter Off Road.
