Vehicle Makeover

[David LaPell]

I have a 01 Jeep Cherokee that has been around a bit, has 140,000 miles on it and has been in a couple of scrapes, but since I really don't have the money to fix all of the stuff and since Chrysler stuff is really in the tank, none of their vehicles here are really worth anything. The repairs would cost more than it would be worth. So I decided to give it a backyard paintjob in my favorite color, camoflauge! Now it definitely gets attention whereever it goes (used to be a white with a smattering of rust spots). Just have to put the CB antenna on and the redneck ride will be complete.

Looks, great. I like your stickers and pics.

Cool paint job! But how are you going to find it in the woods?

Cut a hole in the roof and mount a cal .50.

I like it!

Very nice. I've always wanted a plain Jane, standard Cherokee. I don't know what it is about them, but I like them.

Friend of mine had a 4x4 toyota sprayed with primer green. Kept a can of Krylon behind the seat for any scratches he got on her. Instant touch-up!

Slick Jeep. 4.0L, straight 6 I assume? If so, those motors run forever.

My wife calls it something else... :wink:

I love having a car that you don't worry about scratches on.

I've had this ol' clunker since '67. It's been through several engines and I just ordered a GM ZZ4 (350 c.i., 10:1 compression) long block with aluminum heads and a roller cam...

The ol' Jeep's gonna rise again!

Flatgate,
What a great photo! That's a capable looking CJ5 you have there.

Here's my white Jeep (CJ7):

I hate the rust part of the midwest.

Stop by the local mill and get a couple 2by oak scaffolding planks. They are the real deal in redneck bumpers. Cherokees were real high up on the list of cash for clunker turn-ins. If you need body parts all the u-pullem yards have plenty.

Nice hunting rigs.......

 

[WNY_Whitetailer]

You need a racoon tail for the antenna...LOL

 

[Jimbo357mag]

I think you should go all the way and really give them something to gawk at.

Jimbo,

Is that THE truck from Dumb and Dumber?

 

[gasmandave]

Hey Jimbo, I guess you'd need that in So. Fla! :lol:
