You guys may have seen my post on reddit, but I would also like to posts here. Mostly because i'm super excited for this build. I picked up a 1979 Jeep Cherokee 4x4 quadra-trac V8 360. Her name is Brown Sugar. My plan is to get her running well and driving well, then start with the restoration/upgrades. My second Overland Bound badge will be stuck on after i get some fresh paint on her. I have also started a YouTube channel to vlog the journey of this project. I've been inspired by "I am Jakes" channel and I hope to at least pump out 1 video per week!

Heres the first video of the vlog! :

Great looking jeep...look forward to seeing the build
 
Such a cool Jeep! I'm with @Judge, I hope you choose to keep the Native American motif. I will definitely follow the build.

Oh man that's cool! If you could manage to keep that Native American motif in both the exterior and interior that would be da BOMB!

That is the plan 100% ! All of the emblems will stay as well as the decal running down the side of the jeep! The interior will stay as well! I will be buying a new decal to make her look a lot better, but that will be after she gets painted. And yes i will be painting her the original color!

I hate you... No, seriously, I hate you.

I will be following the build / resto with great interest though.

And I still hate you.

I have a YouTube channel dedicated just for the restore! I just got it started but will be uploading a new video weekly!
