First off, thanks for visiting my page. And please don't forget to rate BIGBIRD.

 

 This is my 2001 Jeep Cherokee Sport that I purchased in Oklahoma in December of '05.

I bought it off the showroom floor at a dealer with the Rock Crawler wheels that are on it now and 30x9.5 Pro Comp Mud Terrains. Since then as you can see it has come a long way and gone a long way. It has gone with me to most of the great wheeling spots in my home state of Oklahoma. Then from OK to Maryland and Pennsylvania and back. And now to Texas and a few places around New Mexico. It sat for over two years while I was in Germany hence the sagging leaf springs in the rear.

The mods consist of: 32x11.5 Pro Comp Mud Terrains~ 15x8 Rock Crawler wheels~ Surco roof rack w/ shovel and High-Lift jack~ 2 Wal-Mart special fog lights (they get torn off anyways so I get em on the cheap)~ 4.56 Yukon Gears and master rebuild kit~ Lockright auto locker in the rear~ dropped front brakelines~ trimmed and cut fenders and bumper caps~ 19 Ultra III Cobra CB~ 4' whip ant. & spring~ 4 6.5'' JL audio comps~ Roll & Pitch guage~ JKS quick sway bar disconnects~ Grill guard~ Tail light guards~ Cold air intake~ Cherry Bomb exhaust w/ custom cat-back piping~ Splitfire V3 spark plugs~ 3.5'' Pro Comp springs and coils~ 2''  coil spacer~ 1'' block~ 1'' drop shackle~  Rusty's larger diameter tie rod ~Quick disconnect wiring harness plug and pins for door removal.  And I'm sure there is more, but after awhile it all runs together.

RECENT UPDATES:      Just put on a new set of 4.5'' leaf springs and 1'' drop shackles, Rancho large bore steering stabilizer (fixed my death wobble), and  5 new much anticipated Pro Comp X-Terrains (33/12.50R15), Corbeau Baja SS suspension seats and 4 point Corbeau harnesses,Rancho Rear diff cover, Lightforce and Daystar Lights on roof rack. Rusty's Stinger winch bumper w/ Superwinch LP8500, new roof rack mounts and light tabs, And some other stuff. 

These are some of my latest pics from a trip to the lake and the Dona Ana trail in Las Cruces.
