I’ll be making these from time to time, to update y’all on my buddy’s new (to him) 1992 jeep Cherokee.

Yesterday, we took the Jeep to emissions. It passed. First try. That’s the last test she’ll ever need! To prep it, we filled it with fresh mid-grade gas, took it to the freeway, and floored it. The Italian tune up really helped, and it also showed us that this thing can comfortably do 75!

Next up, we went and got plates for it. So now, the Jeep is officially legal to drive every day! Soon, new body panels! The fronts dented up a bit. Still, it cleans up pretty nice

I had one of these in high school. I saw it in the road the other day. It's been 20 years! They are great rigs!

Dat S197 tho. Are those the stock wheels painted gunmetal grey with the ‘spinner’ hubcaps? I always wondered what that would look like.

Ew, flat black. Gunmetal would look badass. Has the car been modified in any ways, or just plastidipped to hell and back?

it’s a 4.0, so not much my buddy can do on it...

He's got an axle-back exhaust on it, that grille, and he's got lowering springs to put on it that we're waiting for a nice couple of days to do.

I’ve heard the only real things you can do short of forced induction are: Tune+CAI, underdrive pulley, TB coolant bypass if it’s a 2005, and shorty headers.

it's an '06, so no TB coolant bypass, but all the other stuff's gonna get done eventually....

lol no. Flat black is an overplayed meme caused by the cheap ubiquity of plastidip. Gunmetal is classy as fuck and doesn’t look like a highschooler with $5 and a ride to lowe’s did it.

That would look 100x better glossy or gunmetal.

Wrong.

FLAT BLACK ALL THE THINGS.
