Cobbling the Cherokee back together after I rolled it down cream puff.
Post some inspirational pics of XJ’s with the front half cut off.
Not doing this for looks necessarily. More for function and getting me back on the trails to do it all over again. :flipoff2:
Probably keep the 3 link. May go full hydro. Should have a bigger ram and an old orbital laying around somewhere.

I know a tube front end will be quicker and easier, but Id have to consider finding a cheap XJ to swap everything into. I love a raisined rig, but you have squeezed every drop out of that thing.

If I swap everything over, it would be a YJ so I gain a frame. 😂

I assume you are ok from the roll, that’s the most important thing. Plenty of parts out there to fix a rig.

Photos or videos of the event?

I’ve got a new psc stuff if you decide to go full hydro and need it.

Keep the photos coming on the progress of the rebuild.

Run it as is or swap. Tubing that looks like a waste of time unless you sacrifice a perfectly round trampoline.
 
I’ve witnessed several similar events there before. Some with lots of blood, some with unconscious occupants and once with three missing fingers.

I’m not up for that trail unless I’m on the 300 KTM.

Best part is you are near the road and exit to the park.
