Here is a picture of my 95’ Jeep Cherokee Sport, with the ARB bumper on. Sometimes I don’t think my build on this Jeep will ever be done. I think both my sons would never forgive me if I gave up on this Jeep and sold it! It does sip the fuel though, even when 4wheeling. Vance.

So the xj went bye bye. Wife wasn't a fan. And it was a bit small in there with the 3 of us.
So I picked up another rubi. Was going to get another Jk but used priced vs what I got this for it was a no brainer. No plans for mods right now as it pretty capable, though I'd like throw some 40s on it to piss off the overlanding purists Haha I kid I kidView attachment 102410

Its the complete opposite here. The new Jeeps are insanely over priced. I got annie for less than half the price of a new one. I was going to buy a new sport...52K? WTF? No thanks. I purchased my 2011 brand new for 38K. I guess the mom crawler image thats going around here now drove the price out of wack.

Wow that is a bit crazy. Had a local dealer quote me something similar. I went to idaho . Was about 42.5 for my Rubicon. It's a bit basic with the only add on package being the mid grade radio, the led package and tow package with aux switches. Still a big chunk of change but for used jeeps around here asking prices were to close to be a consideration. I still kick myself for selling my Jk but oh well

Wider, longer. Easy to see the difference between 32 and 35 inch tires. His ride was smoother and was able to track down the trail faster. I was able to single turn the tight spots while he had to k-turn. He carried the ARB fridge (dual batt setup) and Skottle (cook our meat mix: ground beef/pork/turkey combined with either pasta/sauce/vegetables or rice/beans/vegetable).

there’s a guy on YouTube that tow’s people out of off-road places in Utah all the time in a similar rig.
you should check him out....Matt’s Towing...; it’s amazing what he can do with that Cherokee!

I have owned the Jeep with the trailer since new in 1989 (1990 model year)...everything has been touched except the little 4 banger! D'oh (California sucks). This Jeep is point and shoot with a great crawl ratio of 127:1. The Jeep on the street I just picked up. It's also a 1990 but with a Howell injected 6 cylinder (I bought it once I found out I couldn't replace the 4-banger with a diesel and pass smog). It'll be the more daily wheeler even though everything has been touched on it as well...even has on-board welder!
Believe it or not, I think my Interco tires are quieter than the Dunlop's on the "new" rig! Both my kids are going nuts to get them both out for a desert trip...both know how to drive a stick and learning to rock crawl.

What mount is attached to your spare tire holding the Rotopax cans?

Looks like the Rock Slide Engineering EZ Rack Kit Spare Tire Mount. Ordered. This will hopefully satisfy my 6 gallon fuel requirement with 2 x 3 gallon Rotopax. I’m doing a rear weight reduction by removing the current swing-out tire & 2 x jerry can carrier. Replacing with a Morryde Tailgate Reinforcement.
