The madness begins – 1987 Jeep Cherokee
A little history first, well before I was married and had “grown up” responsibilities during the pre-digital camera days, I had a little Bronco II that I used play around with off-road: After selling that, I had a ’85 Toyota Xtra cab that I did a small build on as well, but never really had a chance to wheel it due to going to college.
