12 weeks of time to make something great.Īnd here's the ultimate goal: Cherokee, Comanche, (XJ) Wagoneer, inch-perfect, with. As bad as this global situation is right now, and as scary yet boring life is at the moment, there is still hope - because on the 20th March, all schools across the UK closed - meaning I've been left with what is essentially a 12-week holiday. But, as the school term returned and mock GCSEs on the horizon, I was left with no time or motivation to make it happen. Said photoscan kick-started the Cherokee project back into gear, and I set about learning to model around it during that summer. In June 2019, a friend from Germany spotted an old XJ 4.0 Limited, and its paint was in perfect (matted) condition to do a photoscan. Beside it is a Suzuki SJ chassis, also never finished. The Pioneer is on the right of the Phoenix here. This was called the Prime Pioneer, and was supposed to be a mish-mash of several different 4x4s, like the Cherokee, 90-series Land Cruiser, as well as the Nissan Terrano. No more annoying transfer case buttons like on the Blackfoot - just the press of a key, and you're in 4WD.Īfter that, there was yet another project that made even less progress. Naturally, you can switch between these selections, back and forth, in the correct pattern, using T and G. That, and proper shift-on-the-fly 4WD with both Command-Trac and Selec-Trac cases.

It also features a working saving odometer and a re-settable trip meter. In truth it never really amounted to anything, but it was a great test of what I can do when I try.

In between the Blackfoot and now, I spawned an unspoken experimental vehicle called the Archer Phoenix, which was a Jeep Comanche, used to test various powertrain, texture, Jbeam and performance characteristics.

JEEP XJ MUDRUNNER MOD UPDATE
However, as duty called, and school robbed me of my time, a lack of skill, motivation and resources meant that the update never came. Since then, I've promised to make a no-compromise follow-up, touted as 'Blackfoot V2', which was to be the ultimate edition of the XJL74 platform. First of all, no, this is not an April Fools joke.Īs many of you know, in 2017, I introduced the notorious Ibishu Blackfoot, a vague recreation of the 1984-1996 Jeep Cherokee 'XJ'.
