After hanging around the board here for a year now, I know some of you got Jeeps, too. I just wanted to start a thread about who has what kind of Jeep, what mods they did to it, and how they use it. Pics are awesome as are the soundbites of exhaust and video clips of 4 wheeling. I know some guys put 250s and 292s in them. So lets see it, any kind of Jeep you got. It don't matter if it is for "show & shine" or "mud & grime". If there are any off-roaders too, lets hear of any cool places you've been or see pics and video, too. Show some love for the Jeep \:\)

My wife drives a 2000 cherokee.

And I can't help but wonder how nice it would run with one of these on it.

My daughter also drives a 2000 Cherokee and since relocating to beautiful Bluff,Utah for a year has put it to good use.It's not modified but still gets up some steep and rough terrain
without too much trouble.When we visited recently I saw some really heavily modified Jeeps that had to be trailered for off roading.I wish I had pics to share, but sorry none. The neatest mods I saw involved wild suspension changes for amazing wheel travel.

That is cool guys. Hey inline300, that rocks. I guess they don't make one for the I4, but I know avenger superchargers do so I am already saving my $ to afford one of them for my wrangler, hopefully affordable for me in the next few years after all my other mods in the planning. Hey Drew, I remember your post from Utah, I have seen some great wheeling videos from out there, Utah is definitly on my "soon to go" wheeling adventures after I get the thing a little more built as time and $ allows. I kept my 1995 Grand Cherokee for my sister to drive since I didn't owe any $ on it, she just turned 16, it was my first vehicle and it already has a little lift, flowmaster 40 for exhaust and an I6....gotta start these kids off right ;\) WITH an inline. Since I only have room for 2 cars at my place, it was an excuse to leave it at my parents house :p She loves it except I put the bigger tires on my wrangler so she is begging me to get some big tires for that again. I'll post some sound or video for the exhaust maybe next weekend. It has nice idle and a good mellow tone at a constant 1500rpms cruising in OD. I don't have any wheeling video of my wrangler but here are some off-road pics:







I made it through all that in 2WD!!! TILL I got to the very top of the hill and had to pop it in 4HI as you can see me smoking both the front and rear tires up that hill!!! I did make it all the way up in 2 wheel before though. Then I went back down the hill in 2WD into the pit and did fine, but going in from the side in 4HI, I almost got stuck! haha It pulled too far to the left and bogged down. I had to put it in 4LO to have enough gear to get going in the goo again. 4 bangers don't like stock gears with big tires bogged down in mud, lol.



I peeled out to shoot rooster tails at my friend taking pics. He said he felt chunks of mud the size of baseballs hitting his chest, lol.



Then as I shot out into the pit because of my messing around, karma got me back by pulling me too far left and bogging me down since I had to stop.
