    Small turbo diesel options for swap...

    another TN guy! Welcome! Ive been pondering what kind of deisel I could put into the Cherokee I have and have some of the same concerns you do. 4BT would be sweet, but too big, and I dont think the unibody could handle it all. So Im looking forward to watching what path you go down with...

    Window Tint

    Ive seen the front windshield tinted as well. It was on a Florida two door Tahoe. I think someone told me its legal there b/c of how hot it gets there but I dont know for sure. It seemed like an unnecessary risk to me though...who needs the front window tinted?

    Window Tint

    ^ha ha...thats exactly right!! Always nice pickin the nose at a redlight and NOBODY can see you...ha. Seriously though, I also agree that the driving atmosphere inside the car is much more comfortable and relaxing with the tint like this. I hate feeling like Im in a fish bowl.

    Window Tint

    Id say a lot of people would think it in excess, but I like it. I was just messing around though. What you stated are also reasons I like the darkness of the tint. You can hardly see into it during the day, and you definitely cannot see whats on the floor in the front or back, and when its...

    Window Tint

    Not a yota (I used to have one! I come in peace!) but I have 5% on all of the side windows. Rear is like 25-30ish, maybe lighter. Front is clear. I love it...and you can flame me all you want...ha. I know its dark, but in east TN, I dont think they care too much, so I havent really worried...

    Its a Jeep Thing, I can't figure it out!!!!

    I know cherokees have something similar or other transmission (auto) sensors and ECUs and blah blah, and I always end up reading that if someone takes a dip in some mud or too deep of water, then there trannys start messing up and wont shift right and solenoids go out and blah blah. Ha. So it...

    ok, I know a lot of these look the same. Sorry...ha. The frame is and supports are finished and put together for the front section. It sits flush with the rear section almost perfectly, after a lot of trimming and measuring, etc. here you can see into the storage area on the right side of...

    More progress. Got the frame for the front section all most done. The longest process was trimming to make the front and rear flush since the rear seatback is a little higher when down than the rear cargo area. On the shop floor to check if its flush...gives you a better idea of what it...

    Part of a trade deal. I traded my 33's on the stockers for the 31's on steel wheels. Met the guy at the Georgia border and swapped them out in the WalMart parking lot.

    Update. Stock catback installed. SO much quieter and nicer, AND a bump in fuel mileage. Got the rear portion of my storage/sleep deck built. Needs black paint and grey carpet on the top to match the interior, but here are some pics. The front section will be where the back seats are...
