not sure that this can really be a "build" thread because this rig is pretty well built to start with, but i am making a few changes to it. starting out with a 97 cherokee sport with a 4.0 and AX15, dana 30 front with 4.56 gears and a locker, the rear axle was swapped out with a dana 35 4.56 detroit and a super 35 kit, bumpers, upgraded steering, 7" lift, yadda yadda yadda.
heres how it looked when i picked it up

after riding with kevin at virtue i liked his mesh cargo net he has above his rear seat, well i run around with my rear seat down to much so here is what i came up with using scrap from the shop.

cut a eye bolt to use as a hook and a bungy cord to keep it from moving around

so far i have my first aid kit, folding hand saw, and flashlight mounted up there. im going to make another one for the other side.
i was having some bad vibrations in the front axle, while a small vibe from 45-50 or 55 was normal with the jeep this was worse and anywhere from 30-60. figured the jeep ate another hub assembly since its been known to happen (looking for another axle housing to build), jacked the front up and the hubs were still in good shape but the caliper on the passenger side only had one bolt holding it on, apprently the other one had backed out. ran to town and got 2 new caliper bolts and im back to my 45-50mph vibe.
i also got one of my 4 rock rings cut out, but ill post those when im done since i might be redoing this one.
