Haha, I hear ya... But I agree power breaking doesn't count. Just messin' with ya (sort of).

I'll post some pics tomorrow of my Cherokee Chief, if it weren't partly parted out I'd offer it to you for a good deal. Been slowly parting it out as I have plans for the d44 axles and AMC 360 in it (it's a donor for my CJ7). I have had many people tell me I should keep it, build it, and wheel it but I can barely handle my two projects; three would be overkill.

What wheels are on that JK8? I can't decide if I hate them or just greatly dislike them.
Yeah, they did a good job on this conversion, but wow that price tag is ridiculous. I'm not sure what wheels those are though sorry.

Oh, I added heated seats to my 08 JKU for $120 and two hours of installation time.

You can get the factory heated seats for your JK for about $350 + install time. I went generic because I'd had the same brand before in my Tundra.
Never really thought about after market and although I said they would be nice for wheelin in cold weather, I really don't think I would want them; not a huge fan of swamp ass myself... Haha.

Thanks again for everyone's input, glad ya'll enjoyed the pics, I know I enjoyed geeking out at the Jeep stealership for a few hours!

Uh...for $20K why not just buy a used truck with, like, real truck capability? 10k for an older truck, the rest to all the mods that dealership is attempting to rape somebody for.

Agree, for $58k I could have $34k for mods on my JK... Wouldn't that be fun!

Or 11,600 Feet of Subway sandwiches c'mon everybody five .... five dollar ...... fiftyeight grand gone wrooong

3500 for wheels??? 3049.90 will get you (5) ... heh heh Five..... Fiv ... sorry (5) pintlers and (5) 35" KM2's

Off topic and all but as requested here is a pic of the '77 Cherokee Chief (my '85 CJ7 in background):


Looks a bit different today as I have sold some parts off it, to date what is gone:
-Underdash A/C unit
-Rear windows and seals (one window due to vandals, seals sold)
-Razor grill
-Rear bumper
-Radio and dash bezel

Think that's everything. Gotta plug it: Everything is for sale off this beast minus the AMC 360 and the D44 axles (Could probably let it all go for the right price though, will entertain any and all SERIOUS offers), hit me up if interested. I can also provide more pics if requested.
