my brother got this car for a 30 pack. it was about to get towed from his friends apartments. so with it being all rusty he decided hed take this project differentley. its lifted about 3 inches, he extended the front strut tubes and control arms, and the tie rods, and just cherokee front spring in the rear.

future plans are a swing out cherokee style tire rack for the back of it ,a light bar on the roof with more rally lights and pre-runner style bumpers.

Very interesting. Considering he got it for practically dirt cheap, how does it run?

it runs great. and it suprisingly drives nice and solid. it has quite a bit of rust though.

That's great then. It was practically a steal. Hope to see some progress pictures in the future.
