    I know right, I thought the Ibishu Blackfoot mod was pretty cool. I'm sure this will be cool as well.

    great project, il like very much these cars, especially the comanche. Even thought i don't live in the US my neighbour once had a parallel imported comanche with the 7 main bearing 4.0l AMC straight 6, it looked very vierd between other cars but it was certanly unique.

    let this not be a Blackfoot 2 electric- (no further updates for this mod will be released)

    joking aside, looks neat. hoping to play with this in the future.

    Just joined the Discord server! I have a '95 4-door if you need any pictures, and if you at some point set up a patreon or paypal (etc.), I'd definitely be willing to throw a few bucks at this one. Keep up the awesome work man!

    Those wheels that he had were old Ford steelies. He replaced them with gray Jeep Ecco alloys.

    It's worth mentioning that this will have universal wheel support, eventually have all stock and optional XJ wheels, and hopefully some other older and newer Jeep rims available too. You will also be able to swap the hubs to fit different bolt patterns such as 6 and 8 lug.

    All sorts of photoscans are being done, both by me and by several awesome XJ owners in the USA!
    Enough of these, and I can model the whole car pretty quickly and easily :p

    Here are some that've been done so far:

    Thanks for those - that sticker especially will really come in handy! The sticker on the Orvis is under the right (driver's) side sunvisor.
    Unusually it has French as the first language, probably because it's a European export model.

    Will it have the Renix control systems/computers that certain Cherokees had during its run?

    Literally pretty much any stock part you can think of will be put into this, so yes. No offence lol, but there's no point asking if it's gonna have 'x stock part' because it pretty much always will :D

    Ah, alright. I just was curious if those parts were going to be added, since this one is supposed to be a more in-depth mod compared to the Blackfoot.
