- RCB-ZJ- Build thread Project " MAN VAN "

I have had a few request for a build thread so here goes

First off the MAN VAN comes from my friends with TJ's that say I wheel a mini van. Which then turned to MAN VAN

The jeep is a 1995 Limited v8 ZJ Upcountry package PIMP DADDY GOLD package

It has Flowmaster 40 series muffler with a magnaflow high flow cat. And a Cold air intake

I don't have any stock pics as I put the lift in two days after I bought it.

The lift consists of Skyjacker 4in coils, Skyjacker control arms, Rustys coils spacer in the front to fix the sag, And some rubicon express parts here and there. Iron rock track bar front and rear

Also changed to 4:10 gears and a posi out back

I am currently changing my set up and going to CLAYTON long arm up front with
IRO rear arms. (on hold till other jeep build is done )

Also front bumper and winch will be in the next month or so ( Also on hold )

Here are some then and now photos

Just lifted playing at the dunes


Got some black wheels and had to trim the front bumper a bit


More wheeling


After gears and posi install


Jeep doin work


How it sits as of today

Clayton long arm the front. I am going to leave the rear short arm. I also will be ordering a protofab prerunner front bumper with out the grill hoop and putting a winch on the front.

Im only going long arm in the front for the droop it will get. My suspension set up will be as low as possible with a large tire like I am running now.

you should make some aluminum plates to cover up the front of the bumper...looks a little weird

maybe something like this!
