Members of the Cadillac Jeepers

Jake's XJ follows a similar trend: run a stock engine and transmission, then let your imagination run wild. In this case, it starts with the NVG242 transfer case from a '97 XJ, which mates to a Truetrac'd Dana 30 front with WJ knuckles and an ARB-locked 44 rear. Brakes were upgraded to '00 Grand Cherokee dual-piston calipers and WJ rotors, while the rears sport Liberty rotors. Eight-inch Skyjacker coils work with a triangulated four-link and BDS shocks to let the 37x13.50 TSL Boggers and 15x10 AR Type 23 rims stay in contact with terra firma. Front and rear bumpers serve as onboard air tanks, a Warn 9.5ti multimount can free the Cherokee from terra not-so-firma, and the custom bodywork comes courtesy of "Michigan trees and rocks."
