Re: They are still producing the Cherokee (Sort of). The ChineseJeep2500
 

Picture the frame starting at the front bumper. From there they have
a treated high strength extension back to just forward of the motor
mount, At that point, it becomes a normal boxed frame back to the
fire wall. At the firewall, the cab floor becomes the top of the box
and the pillars, firewall and rear of the cab all jion in to give it
flex strength. Behind th cab, the lowere U-channel contimues with a
cap plate welded to make a boxed member. The bed just rides on top of
that. In reality, it's only a real unibody for the length of the cab
- the rest is pretty much normal railed frame.
