Jeep Cherokee XJ 1984-2001: Advanced Performance Modifications

Okay folks I got to admit I'm a bit excited about this. A childhood friend and fellow XJ owner of mine (Eric Zappe) has finished his second book on Jeep Cherokees. It's available now for pre-order on Amazon.com. Click here for the link. Yours truly will have the distinguished honor to have his Cherokee in this book. Let me repeat that again. MY CHEROKEE WILL BE IN THIS BOOK! I told you I was excited.  I'm not talking about 1 small picture, there's a 3-4 page spread.

Eric and I have been working on my specific section since early last year when he contacted me and asked if I could get him all the specific information about my Jeep. Following that I did a photo shoot in June 2013 with RickyB.Photography and sent those high resolution pics to Eric.

Well after the drafts were approved and the paperwork completed, the final product was sent to the printers and will be available for pre-order NOW!

For under $20 you can own a copy yourself. Please get one ASAP as the last book he published sold out all the beautiful high gloss copies quickly and only black and white remained.


My Cherokee has informed me that if anyone would like its autograph, he would be more than happy to run over your book with a tire.

Rock Garden 1 "Bypass" Trail

Got a chance to ride a couple weeks back through our local trails. This one is called Rock Garden 1. Located in Mt. Olive, Alabama, this "bypass" started life as a trail around the hard stuff, but now has become hard itself. We had quite a few rigs blow their rear ends up on this trail ride, but the Cherokee did just fine.

Hope you enjoy. Thanks to Tommy Gilreath and his amazing driving, it allowed me to film all day.
