my jeep

[jasonmolinar]

what's up everyone. so i bought a jeep cherokee 92. it already has a ton of work done to it. i know it's not as cool as building one yourself, but when you don't have much money then why not just buy an already built vehicle. haha. that said the only thing i plan on getting for it right now are some new tires and a steering stabilizer. here's some pictures. tell me what you guys think.

its nice man, i personally have nothing aginst people buying finished or custom jeeps, but i have a problem with kids who buy lifted jeeps with the works, then when the air filter needs changed they take it to an auto shop... that just makes me angry

Nice. Kinda looks like a Jeep from a wreck I ran out near the airport in Provo. Some kid rolled his Jeep that was the same color and had a red roof rack, but it didn't have the stinger. Are you still in Utah, or did you move to Colorado?

I guess it wasn't him cause this kid lived in Provo. He flipped it on the dyke road around the airport.

The municipal airport here has a lake right next to the west and south side, and there is a dyke holding the water back since the ground level of the airport is right around the water level of the lake. The road was paved at one point, but after years of the lack of maintenance, it is mainly a gravel road. The driver was hauling down the road and went around a turn and there was someone riding a horse so the kid swerved and the Jeep went sideways and flipped a couple times. He only had a couple scrapes because of the broken glass, but the Jeep was leaking oil, coolant, and half the glass was broken out, plus the body damage.

So he was out hot rodding and was going to fast to be safe

 

[bugleboy]

pictures like these make me want to drive like a grandma and never take my xj over 45

Yup. Witness statements say they could hear him from a ways off and as soon as he came around a bend he went sideways and flipped it.
