Jeep Grand Cherokee (Rick's Build)

Rick and his Cherokee got some action this weekend after the MWRCA comp. Hopefully Mnster's got a few good shots to post. I had a few, but when I got home they were gone from the cam, along with all the pic's I took.
 
Didn't get any good ones of the comp so I'll post up some good action ones here locally tomorrow. The truck works fantastic, way more capable then Jim's truck. This build is still no where from done. Thanks for that welding apron Rick likes it.

Ben, looks good. It's just like my fj...........finished building it, thrash it. Build it again.:lol:
 
Headed to a new park for some trail exploration today so Rick figured he would get the Jeep ready.

He started by picking off the mud jammed in the suspension, the mud at the comp was brutal.

He then went to work pulling the junk jammed in the wheel hex's.

Went wheeling today.

First Rick started out at the park where the big trucks drive, that didn't work so well.

It's in our garden every year. In Ohio, all you see is corn during the summer until it gets picked.
 
not sure on the corn thing...those look like bamboo rods...i have a little bit of a lot of bamboo growing here...
