a new spin on the cherokee builds
 

i decided to try a different approach to all the cherokee builds on here that are more expensive than most of us can afford so i contacted hulkwerks and this is what we came up withthis is going to be a long build so be prepared.........

about time ya get off your duff and get that thing on here :flipoff:

man i cant wait to see this thing done

you should talk....
 

where is your build....????........

what axles are you using

axles
 

the plan is to use a set of pti axles i have replaced the input cvd's with tc3 input shafts so i can use pede shafts but as you can see in the pics they are too wide so i am deliberating on how to narrow them i am thinking some brass tube and a saw should do the trick and i have to do that before i can figure out how long the inner bones need to be thanks for the comments i welcome all advice...paul

Before you hack up the PTI axles, I have a set of Highlifts that Ill trade you. Then you can get the stuff for the straight axle conversion etc....

or leave them alone and get the look of the jeep with 1 ton chevy axles

jetboat thats an awesome offer but they are too wide and much too hard to narrow easily highliftcrawler i just think they look too wide thats why i was going to narrow them the tires sit all the way outside the body even if i fab fenderwells i dont think it will look right?

Im diggin the chassy. thats sweet

Wow looks really nice.(<understatement) Is the frame/chassis steel? Do you or whoever built it use a welding machine or like a torch and rod? I am totally new to this but would like to learn how to weld small stuff out of like steel,brass and aluminum. So is it getting body panels or a chopped body at all? Not sure where you would get it but it should look extremely nice.

will you be using one of stephan XJ hard bodies?

next.....
 

i just found some sweeta$$ tires for this.....they are Dunlop 15.50-15's ....quiz time.. who can name where they came from? i will post an answer soon if noone gets it......paul

oops
 

oh i forgot got the frame back from the plater wow you wouldnt believe what a difference nickel plating makes....especially when hulk looked at me and said ..." I made that? " will post pics tomarrow night paul

no proline tires say proline this is raised rubber letters DUNLOP on the side....they are 1.6/1.7" tires off a production vehicle....maybe a little older.....not hi-lux.....

are the tires from the old kyosho 4runner its all i can think of

close but no cigar..........right manufacturer....but im giving too much away now
