Trying to find the info now. Will post when I find it. All I can remember was they were grotesquely overpriced

Stock 80's Jeep Cherokee. They're a dime a dozen in the wrecking yards as that body style was made for mucho years.

Yes, but it's not quite what I need in the long run. It would work well with a longer front section, but the length I cut in still hits the trailing arms when dumped. I'm trying to con slammed67 into trying out his new welder on building up a back half. We'll see... I'm tapped out $$$ right now

Speaking of stances... we passed you on K96 late last night. My wife pointed out the "old truck" since I do that every time I see a 67-72 on the street. Then she said... "that's a BIG one!" I'm just hoping and praying she was talking about the truck, as I am quite sensitive about size issues

**Yukon Jack** · 01-03-2006, 01:41 PM

Me and one of my daughters were coming home from seeing King Kong that night. Luckily she really likes riding in that truck, so we took it.

**Captkaos** · 01-03-2006, 01:45 PM

Kenneth, the truck is looking good!

camaro__thunder · 01-04-2006, 07:14 AM

You beat me to it. Sorry about that. The ones I used are the SDHH7 Heavy Duty Hood / Trunk Hinge

I believe the SDHH5 might be sufficient, but these hoods are pretty heavy so we opted for the bigger units.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 01-04-2006, 11:20 PM

Holy crap those are $$$$$$$$$$

XXL · 01-07-2006, 09:54 PM

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 01-07-2006, 09:59 PM

Damn that looks good how much is outta the front section of the roof???? BWT when are you gonna wash those wheels I cannot recall them ever being klean??

**Palf70Step** · 01-07-2006, 10:05 PM

It's looking good. So when does the rear match the front??

fletch4x4 · 01-08-2006, 12:15 AM

krue · 01-08-2006, 12:38 AM

Looks good.

muddpile · 01-08-2006, 01:05 AM

I never realized how far forward the roof was tilted. That thing looks MEAN! Love the stance too.

jay-dawg · 01-08-2006, 11:47 AM

swbls12b · 01-08-2006, 12:37 PM

Front is 2.5", rear is 1.75", and the glass is raked back about 2" at the topmost point.

Ouch! Well... actually, they don't clean up very well. They spent 4 years in MA, and so the road grime/crud took their toll on them... they're just a polished wheel, which was bad for their life in MA, but means that with a LOT of elbow grease they should actually polish back out. I, however, don't have the patience/time to do that... so I'm going to try to find a home for them once I get another set of wheels lined up. Also, I'll be moving to 18's (these are 17's) and chrome... so I don't have the polishing issue again.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 01-08-2006, 02:22 PM

Ken let me know when you get ready to sell them I maybe looking for a set of wheels at that time...

Several... but ultimately... Tim Devlin and crew at Devlin Custom on Douglas. While not ideal, I will say that dealing with Tim on this was by far the smoothest, most professional I've ever experienced in the world of body/custom shops. I'm still working out some misc 'issues' on the work that was done, but they are inevitable, and so the real test will be how they're worked out. As for Tim's communication (and sit down for this)... he actually called me on a regular basis to give me updates, ask questions about stuff we hadn't thought of before hand, sought clarification on stuff-- rather than just doing it one way only to find out that's not what I wanted, and even inviting me to come by any time to see his team work.

Waddaya mean? Green and blue coordinate together.

Actually, here's the math...

$20 per 7-11 store x 4 stores per week + 2-5 in prison for armed robbery +...

Well, I'm working on it. I'm out of money right now

K5KRAZIE · 01-08-2006, 02:51 PM

DAMN! Nice to see you sstuck with this even through the "tough" time you had. Progress looks good and will be worth the effort and time in the end. Good job!

polevault1977 · 01-08-2006, 05:59 PM

A tip of the hat from an Okie!! Awesome job. I'm working on my cab now and like the rest would sure like to see more "before" and "during" pics of your cab.
