Publisher's Synopsis
The Jeep Cherokee is one of the most popular and rugged sports utility vehicles in history, with nearly three million sold, and many have chosen this vehicle for navigating over the toughest terrain - climbing rocks, trail riding, wadi bashing in the deserts, and much more. Although wildly popular, these unibody 1984-20001 models have room for improvements to become the best off-road vehicles. Building a Cherokee into the toughest and most capable off-road 4x 4 SUV requires the correct building plan, products, and substantial modifications. In this book, the upgrade and modification of all major components are covered to provide a complete performance package for maximum off-road performance for the dedicated off-roader Cherokee owner. It shows how to weld and gusset the frame in critical areas; how to install frame stiffener panels and rocker panel replacements to minimise excessive chassis flex; a three-and-four link suspension system to deliver greater travel and better off-road handling; suspension and frame modifications to run 35-inch and larger wheels; a comprehensive guide for installing mammoth off-road wheels and tyres - 31, 33, 35, and 37 inches - is provided; installing Dana 44 and 60 and Ford 9-inch axles provides superior performance and durability, and modifying the Jeep inline six-cylinder engine for increased displacement and performance is revealed, and all are explained and illustrated in detail.
