BDS XJ long arm kit install now featured on jpmagazine.com

February 10th, 2010 No comments

According to Verne Simons of jpmagzine.com “Jeep Cherokees are without a doubt the unsung heroes of the Jeep brand. These vehicles are generally thought of as grocery getters, soccer-mom mobiles, and mall-cruising monsters. The fact of the matter is that these Jeeps offer a well-designed platform that can easily become a weekend trail slayer, and may be the best platform for a daily driver/wheeler out there. And while the old boxy XJ hasn’t been built since 2001, there are still plenty of these Unitbody vehicles cruising our nation’s highways.”
