I was looking at the trooper too. I like the design and style a lot. Lots of floor space for batts in the back not much in the front. You could use the front diffrential pluss generator and electric lawn mower clutch for regen braking. The trooper Curb weight is 4000Lbs where a 87 Jeep Cherokee is if I remember right 3200-3700lbs So I may be looking at the Cherokee. on the Cherokee I bet motor and tranny weighs 600 lbs. Remove the ICE/tranny and get lighter seats. It may be doable.
