1979 Cherokee Build

Post by davidt443 »

Alright guys,

Recently I have purchased a 1979 Jeep Cherokee with the AMC 360 and Th-400 with quadra-trac. I will be mostly posting the videos I make documenting the build. There will be pictures posted as well.

If you like the videos, please subscribe to my youtube channel!

Here are the first pictures I took of "Brown Sugar"

This is her ride home! Being towed by my 2014 Grand Cherokee with the 5.7l hemi and also quadra-trac :drivin:

First pictures before starting any work on her.

The first thing I did to her was to start cleaning her as I will be focusing on the engine and front axle to start my work. Here is the first episode.

After I cleaned her bottom side, the next project I had to get done was to buff the original paint. She shined up nice!

Being amazed at how well she started to clean up I couldn't stop with the paint. I polished her wheels up!

The next big project for her was to replace her carb, fuel pump, and fuel filter. I found a carb on amazon for $113. Yes I know what you are thinking,, Throw a holley in there!. Yes, I eventually will do that. I just want to get her running and driving well before i start dumping a lot of money into her.

After the carb was installed and working great, I had my wife Catherine help install a new Steering stabilizer. The old one was shot!

I hope you guys will follow along the journey of this mystical beast of a machine. I will try and upload a new video every week.

Next on the list is to fix some very bad leaky manifolds. Clean the carpet. And fix the floor pans!

Stay tuned!
