Thank you. I mean it. This gives me a damn good idea of what these things have for a floor.

I want to update with progress pictures, but all I've got right now is some purdy leather seats I snatched out of an '01 Grand Cherokee in the U-pull. Besides, I'm needing my monies to make a trip up north next month. But, while I'm up there I'll be buying an Iron Rock Offroad long-arm kit. Yay!

Also, I may make a detour and drive up through Georgia to pick up my rear floor pan so I can avoid paying the $200+ shipping charges on a $170 part.
Also also... How hard can it possibly be to find some damn 2x6 steel tubing?! I'm yanking my hair out trying to find this damn stuff!
And in closing... This gives me a chub. Maybe after I get it all welded back together and get a cage installed...

It is always good to see where they rust.
But, mostly look at the floors and rockers. If they're getting bad there, just walk away and don't get sucked into a project like this!

Not trying to sound like a dick... But I would have just bought another jeep.... BUT... This just proves you have way more skill/dedication than me. Also good job making it look good instead of like a pile of autozone accessories from the $9.99 and under bin."Shakedown"- 1991 Grand Marquis GS Dual exhaust, Magnaflow xl turbos, Rear anti sway bar, Outlaw 1 wheels, 43k miles

As for the Autozone accessories- I doubt chrome wiper blades or stick on fender vents give better traction or suspension articulation. I really just want to make it a capable rig that still looks good. That's why I went with the simple looking tow points/tire carrier/winch mount. I don't need the front and rear ends to look like an Abrams M1A12 seeing as how I don't make it a point to run into shit, lol.

More progress- I went to work on the jeep yesterday for about 4 hours... 3 of which were spent in the emergency room! Yep, I'm talented. Even though I had nice thick leather gloves within arm's reach I opted to grab the big rear floor pan with my bare hands and try to wrangle it through the back door. When my hand hit the door frame it stopped- however, the sheet metal didn't. Damn near sliced the pad off the tip of my left middle finger. The doc glued it back together, so I just went and got back to work... hopefully more pics tonight.

Progress!
Since Saturday I now have new floors, new rockers, green paint, stock suspension and 2wd! Well, the last 2 aren't really progress.
...yeah... I bought A CLEAN '97 Cherokee... As much as I really don't want to part with this '95 (again), I'm really just fooling myself if I think it's going to turn out well without a LOT of time and money. *sigh* So, here ends the long road for my poor Cherokee. Only 15 years and 150k miles old, you died young after a long battle with cancer. You never let me down and you always put a huge smile on my face. RIP little Heep!
Standby for 4x4 conversion and buildup of the '97 XJ...
