Nice upgrade! Those are really nice vehicles, and with the Hemi and 8 spd it should be really powerful.

So what happens with the old WK? I see it in the background still. Building it into an overlanding Jeep to rival B or just selling it?

i REALLY wanted to chop the top, notch the doors, cage it, SAS, and build "The Baller-Crawler" ... freakin hemi, auto, heated leather seats for 5, AC, wood grain dash, bangin tunes, etc. but i just don't have the time or need.

instead, the 07 will become a heart donor. Colin is going to take the old 5.7 hemi and swap it into the rust free CJ i have been hording out back. so really this is +1 Jeep -2 Jeeps for me.

if Colin hadn't already claimed it, i had thought about doing a "roadkill build" and getting like 4 guys over for a weekend til it was done. but that ship has sailed.

in the mean time though, can i appease the peanut gallery with dumb decisions by building the new one instead?

Somehow I read that it was going to be a parts Jeep to resurrect the old CJ in your first post, and yet it didn't process in my head, I still had to ask... mostly because a built Grand Cherokee is cool and rare I guess.

I do second the idea of dumb decisions!
