where abouts in MD are you i noticed the AOI sticker. Im in Littlestown PA and im more then likely trading my XJ for a super nice YJ here next week if i can come up with the couple buck i need. the MC and Booster swap interest me. i noticed when i drove the YJ that the brakes felt really soft as compared to my XJ or the Rubicon that i had. did you notice a difference in peddel feel when you did the swap?

o btw, i think you chould keep those rims on the front! lol

I'm just outside Huntvalley. Im about 45 minutes from Littlestown. The MC/booster swap is one of my favorite mods so far. It did help pedal feel tremendously and I had very noticable extra stopping power. Im assuming since you're up in PA you wheel at Rausch? We should hook up sometime once ths thing is moving again.

I am so happy with the flex, its tons more than i expected, I'm not sure what im gonna do for shocks haha. I'm hoping to maybe have it moving under its own power today so fingers crossed.

Thanks, its definitely more satisfying than anything. Each and everything you finish is just a huge rush as you watch it all come together

i used to wheel at rausch. but then i sold the Rubi and havent been in about 2 years. took me like 6 months to sell the Rubi and the Xj is 100% stock. but i may take this YJ out some if i can some armor and throw the full widths under it. jut need to get them built. the YJ is sporting 34s now but its got a 35 rear...so yea...do you belong to MJC or Creepers? or another club?

I'm not currently in any clubs but i plan to join creepers for this upcoming year with hopes that my rig will be functional and good to go.

sounds cool man good luck with the build and all. i should be going through with trading my cherokee for the YJ with in the next 2 weeks and hopefully then in a few years (lol) ill have it uber trail ready. i actually have the same axles you have sitting here ready to be rebuilt!

[willhf1011]

Good bit of progress in the past few weeks. Got the transfer case back in with the SYE, both shafts installed, and my rear axle all tied up.

I bought a lockrite for the rear 60 but when i cracked into it it turns out the axle is actually a limited slip the the lockrite doesn't fit, oh well there goes 180 bucks... so i welded it all up and installed my new solid cover, man these things are big.

Ordered my new center for the H1's from GLO, they should be here sometime this week so hopefully this weekend i can get the rims all squared away.

[willhf1011]

Front axle all tied up too, Steering is all set and clears everything, i'm very happy with the partsmike setup, highly recommend it.





And new shaft in, angler looks usable.




Things left on the list: shocks, brakes, antiwrap bar, rims, wheel it

That thing is sick! I'm impressed! Good job man, keep it up!

[joe's_yj]

looks good, nice build up.

So, here are the problems I see with this build:

1. I'm married, so I don't have the time or money to do all of this.
2. I don't remotely have the knowledge to do all of this anyway.
3. You live way too far away to have you build it for me.

Joking aside, you've got a great ride! I've really enjoyed the read.
