Project JR 2.0
Look Who's Back!Remember this Jeep? If you're a long-time reader we're betting you will. It's the '99 Cherokee we purchased from Collins Bros Jeep back in '02 and introduced to you in the Nov. '03 issue of Jp magazine. Since it came from Dallas and had a "Ewing" dealership badge on the tailgate, we named it JR after one of the main characters of that cheesy '80s TV show. During the subsequent buildup the little "badass from Dallas" was transformed into a pretty slick high-speed off-road toy with a worked 4.6L stroker huffing nitrous oxide, a Currie Ford 9-inch with 4.88s and an Eaton Truetrac out back, a trussed Dana 30 front, and a long-arm suspension. In all, it was a great little daily-driver for over 60,000 miles until mechanical troubles and corporate apathy shelved it for a couple years. However, now that the ink is dry on the bill of sale and this little Jeep is finally owned by the staffer who built it, Project JR is coming out of mothballs.
