before It got cold out this year I picked up a 91 jeep cherokee at an auction. I noticed nobody could start it so I gave it a go and I was the only one who knew it actually ran so they pushed her threw and I got it for 257 bucks and drove her 20 miles home. It has this crazy grafiti paint stuff on it. I am planning on painting the lower part/fender flairs dark grey and the top light grey to match the boat. I am going to leave it at my cabbin all summer to tow to the ramp and back and run to town to get fuel. It has 203k on it and runs great heres a few pics of it halfway apart but you can still see the grafiti.
Im fabbing some new rear rocker panels just finished welding them in tonite there was a little rust down there I had to repair. Ill throw up some pics of the finished patches tomorow. It will get a nice ski nautique decal across the back window. It also had bran new brakes and tires on it when I baught it. Im thinkin about a CCF decal on one of the rear side windows too. |

| Aww nobody likes it:( i promise it will look better when its finished. I got almost all of the body work done where i welded in the patch panels and about half of the doghouse is sanded and ready for primer. Hope to have it finished before march is over and ready for the water....or uhh pulling duities. |

I think everyone here's speechless, not sure we'd seen something like that owned by most of these guys, cuz as you can tell "it's not very original" & that'll probably hurt your resale. hahaha looks like a good pickup though, besides missing a few parts it looks in decent shape. Good luck w/ it man

That' s good line Nate. Let's see the after pics Zach. One thing to buy a $250 car. Another to turn it into a $250 beauty. Looks to me like a paint job and a little body work and it will be there. BKH ------------- Livin' the Dream |

Haha thanks dudes. Nate its not missing anything thats just what all ive taken off in paint prep. I just forgot to take before pics before i started takin it apart. Im kinda pumped its going to match the boat when its finished haha.
Id like to find a better lookin set of original newer jeep wheels for her though. We got creative with a marks alot before we started sanding as you can see haha. BTW nate your boat trailer has the same hubcaps that were on my car from the factory haha |

Sorry Phat, but I'm a Wrangler guy.
If you get that ride tricked out with a tight paint job to match your boat, you'll have a nice entry into the "towing rigs" thread. Steve ------------- Play hard, life's not a trial run. '85 BFN '90 BFN White Lake, Michigan |

I like it.... I think you should go with that paint scheme on the Boat, and keep everything matching!! Why not be different? You might start a trend... People will name their kids after you.... Pets will be named after their kids.... Wives will want to play Bridge with you!! Bill Gates will wonder why his marketing department didnt think of it, and want to hire you! Donald Trump will get a Suit Taylored with the same pattern! ------------- Travs Where there is a will, there is a way, and where there is a way, it usually costs more money. 1980 Ski Nautique |

haha yeah zach those hubcaps are classic!! The trailer looks a bit better now though, painted matte black, Wasn't too worried about making the tariler look too pretty as we only tow it about 3 times a year, 2 now that the Cedar point reunion if off for this year. But, if i remember correctly, those hubcaps are still on the trailer. haha

Well Nate, since the Cedar Point Reunion is off, you have no excuse not to tow it to Green Lake. BKH ------------- Livin' the Dream |

Looks just like the brick wall next to my apartment when I lived in Phoenix! Whatever you do,don't scrape that sticker off the back window or JBEAR will come lookin for ya! I'd put a "don't laugh it's paid for" sticker on it and drive it 'As Is'.

Yea Mike, its cool like it is but it needs rust work Soo I fixed it and its going to look awsome as a matching rig for 100 bucks in paint or soo, so its worth makin it pretty haha. Id eventually like to get into some mild off road mods for it like a 3 or 4 inch lift with some more agressive tires and have a little trail fun.
I wont trust it to pull the 2001 the 2 hours to my cabbin those duties in the spring and fall will be left to my dakota but this will make a great gas hauler and to and from the ramp puller |
