How Did my Cherokee Hold Up to the Abuse on the Cross Country Trip?

Just a quick over view of the damage from the wheeling my Cherokee endured as I drove across the country

Glad it’s home. Mostly it was a solid trip. I enjoyed watching. Rebuild and plan the next trip!

I’m really shooting for KOH23 but with the recent changes in fuel prices we’ll have to see

[@danhambrick6331]

I would like to see you replace everything you broke😁 What rear leaf springs are those?

[@thegreendumpster1414]

They’re IRO 5.5” leaf springs. I haven’t had good luck with them though. This pair is only a year old and the pair before these only lasted a year. The RE springs I had before them took everything I threw at them, but axle wrapped really bad

Hey bro,,, where did you find your rear quarter panel armor with the built in tail light armor. I can’t seem to find it anywhere.
Also how did you clock your t-case?

[@thegreendumpster1414]

JCR offroad quarter armor and I used an IRO clocking jig to redrill the back of the trans

How much damage do you think occurred from abuse/where in tear/how much damage from being in the back of the bus?

[@thegreendumpster1414]

The bumpstops were definitely wear and tear, they have been on there for years, the ball joints I have a feeling were from abuse, the shock I think was the terrible roads in New Orleans, the broken headlight bezel was stupidity in hitting a tree😂 and the leaks all have been slowly building up. Oh yeah and motor mounts have been pretty rough for a while

I think I just passed you in NC?

[@thegreendumpster1414]

Most likely
