Since these pics were taken the North American Landie is sportin' a Detours Tailbone.
The trailer is a work in process and is scheduled to be done this month. I am adding an awning to the Borla basket this week.

I dig your Cherokee. Great stance, purposeful, and well-kept. It looks like a pleasant ride that is able to take on anything you throw at it. Thanks for posting!

This wouldn't happen to be WoodKrawlers XJ, would it? http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f22/back-saddle-98-xj-overland-build-1233829/. If so, you got a great Jeep from a guy that I believe restored the most beautiful MJ I have ever seen. http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f22/99-mj-build-881250/.

You nailed it. That is the one. When he put it up for sale I drove my wife nuts until she agreed to drive to NC. She was sick as a dog with a cold. But like a true explorer we did sixteen hours of driving to buy this from woodkrawler. Of course the prior year I built her the TJ she always wanted!
You are right, he did a great job and it works like a charm! Can't take credit for the build, but wouldn't trade it for anything.

Count me in!
It's not much more than what you see. Old Man Emu suspension, currently with 245/75R16C Goodyear Duratracs, and a fixed-yoke conversion. It hasn't changed in years. Just upkeep.
I love the whole laptop inside thing,,,,
In my idea of the perfect XJ, its rugged as rusty nail on the outside and High tech on the inside..
I would love to get those solor pannels for th roof, to run the computer on, and all that jazz... Cheers,,
I love the color match ARB too, thats classy mate.
