'87 Grand Cherokee custom

[troy]

I noticed this for sale on craigslist. It is not mine, but I'm familiar with the shop's work. They do a lot of SEMA work for Jeep, and specialize in Hemi swaps for wranglers.

This thing is a beast and what I think is a good deal at $2,250. A couple mods and it would be expedition ready.

How hard you think it would be to read the badge on the back and realize that "Wagoneer" is actually not spelled "Cherokee"

Unless they put the 2 door badge on? Then it would say Cherokee. As I recall the 2 doors were the Cherokees and the 4 doors were the Wagoneers. And the last of the big bodied wagons were the Grand Wagoneers.

It's an interesting vehicle, the sort of project you'd see on XTreme 4x4 TV.

I'd be concerned about the engine mods making the emissions too high
to pass inspection. Maybe that's why they include a spare engine!

wonder why they have the front end torn apart in the profile pic

otherwise, looks like fun

The big Cherk ended when the little Cherk took over.

Still, an interesting looking ride.

The Grand Cherokee has always been the smaller, unibody platform (ZJ, WJ, WK)

The Grand Wagoneer was the big boy and only was around from 1985-1991. In '93 there was a wood grained, up luxury, ZJ badged as a Grand Wagoneer, but these are few and far between.

I actually sort of miss my old GDub.
