On Hold Ibishu Blackfoot ('84-'96 Jeep Cherokee) 1.1

Is there going to be a 2 door version??
Also, really excited for this.

 

Probably planned, but likely after he finishes the 4-door body.

Neenja'd.

 

Actually, the 2-door's model is being worked on, but I'll only have it done when the 4-door model is done. I did find blueprints, and @carlover416 made an attempt, but the model for the 4-door uniframe has changed since the one I sent him - the floor's been re-done, the pillars have been tweaked and the frame altered. So I'll be merging parts from both of the cars to make a hybrid out of the two, except now I can line the pillar and door up to where it is on the real 2-door now I've found blueprints for it.
After the 2-door is all ready and in-game, I'll get onto the Scout (pickup), which will just be the front section of the Blackfoot closed off at the back, and a new frame built behind it, starting where the B-pillar would be.

Also, I think everyone is excited

Ninja'd x2

 

i hope the finished product is really good, and not roblox looking cant wait to test it on my wheel

 

What do you mean by 'roblox looking' lol

 

Promise me, it's very likely to look like a official vehicle.

 

This:

 

I see. I thought you were talking about something else, but yeah, I know how bad the models are in that game lol, I used to play it years ago. No, I'm agreeing with @Fenneko on this one.
Anyway, here's something that I don't think any other mod has - but real Cherokees do have (mine definitely does at least, and many others I've seen )
Anti-glare turquoise window tint on the top of the windscreen!

It's functional too

 

Neat! I never really saw a mod that had this feature.

Definitely realistic, as all of my parents car have this.

 

Nice.

 

i have present for you

 

What point are you trying to make there lol

 

Not really much of a present since it's old as hell and not really that good.

 

Cant wait for this beast! not only is it one of the most realistic vehicles but its also my favorite vehicle!

oh i forgot there was an offroad package from the factory that some came with. Its called the upcountry package. it had a front swaybar skid plate, a transfer case skid plate, gas tank skid plate no rear swaybar, 3.73 gears, and a rear LSD. my black one had that.
My waggy has the tow package which came with a dana 44 rear axle and a trailer hitch and 4.10 gears.

just some more ideas but im sure you have aplenty

 

This has come so far since the beta I have...

 

Yes, I knew about both . They've mentioned it before, the UpCountry called the Ocean Fuji Edition.

The towing package is optioned onto my 2000 Cherokee Orvis, which originally had a towbar, but there's a bit of a myth about that. It has all the wiring, all the uprated suspension and cooling, an would have come with a towbar. But when we got it, the towbar was missing, and the wiring had its connector cut off, and the wires left exposed, tucked into the rear bumper. We took it to a garage to get inspected, and among other things, both of the rear axles had been chewed to pieces, and the rear LSD ripped to shreds.
So basically, the idea went that the previous owners (it's stayed in the same family since new) towed something too heavy in 2WD, where in the owner's manual, it says to tow things over a certain weight in 4-Full-Time. Anyway, we're now working on getting a new towbar and wiring harness for it, because the frame mounts are still there for one.
Mine has a rear Dana 35c LSD, with a 3.55 ratio, and a Dana 30 front. Oh, and it also comes with a little tiny trans cooler in front of the radiator

The towing package will be available on the Blackfoot Ocean and Deluxe, and will come with what the real car had, like the Fuji will.

 

You could throw in a chrysler 8.25. they came in the 96+ and have a 3" tube, larger ring gear and some have an LSD too

 

cant wait for this mod to come out

 

On the real car? Nah, it was all replaced with factory stuff, among other things that needed fixing.
On the Blackfoot, well yeah , that doesn't have the 8.25" yet.
The only thing that's broken on the real one rn is the sound system, the actual wiring to the speakers has broken over the years (we tested everything else, and it's fine) , but we found that since it has the Infinity Gold six-speaker system, it has them in the roof in the back. So if we were going to keep it stock like we want to (because Orvises are going up in value, about 10 are being scrapped each 1/4 of a year) we'd have to not only find new wiring somewhere, but take out the headliner and everything attached to it. Luckily, I have the original dealer workshop manual for the 2000 XJ that shows you how to take everything off, and having wiring diagrams, but we still need to find that part somewhere, and will probably have to import it from the US. I might hit up one of the XJ forums about it.

The Blackfoot currently has the 35c LSD, and it works pretty well - but it will only be standard on towing packages and the Dynasty range. Also, the NV228 with a 2.61:1 low range will be on the older Commando and Colonel Blackfoots, as well as the Dynasty and Dynasty Deluxe. I'm thinking of putting NV231 in some of them, but I'm not sure which, because most models had the Selec-Trac 242 as an option, with Full-Time 4WD (like mine)

Oh also, on the real car (and we're not changing it, kinda unfortunately) it has the low-pinion 30 in the front, since it's a newer 97+. But it's held up, and still works just fine, we hardly use 4WD anyways since we only really use it on-road (because the Orvis was the most luxurious model, not really meant for off-road use) . It also has the coil-on-plug system, better-flowing intake that later models had, and (surprisingly holding up, like the D30) the 0331 head, which we must have gotten lucky on, because I haven't spotted the TUPY cast on it, and it's not new enough to get the 'fixed' one that the 01's got.
