so i trade my 95 dodge 2500 v10 5spd for a jeep wrangler and this is my build thread


The jeep is a 97 jeep wrangler 4.0 5spd 122000 miles
It came with
4 in sus lift
worn 33x12.50x15
some nice rims not sure the brand yet but i want to trade or sell for some nice soft 8s
KandN intake

So far i fix the exhuast hanger, undercoated the bottem of the jeep it really needed it. put new brakes gold, new plug and wires and oil change to mobile one! Fix the hole in my seat GF sewed it up lol. clean the whole thing top to bottem. i love this jeep so much. Now i just need to find out how to keep the doors off and keep the lights off. i have to wire up some switchs

i order a new steering stablizer it needed a new one after the stock one was used for 122000 miles lol and some new handles for the roll bar

this is the truck i traded for the jeep


here is my new jeep


crappy pics ill get better ones with everything done

for the lights when the doors are off just pull the little button switches out when the doors are off and disconnect till you get switches.

cool, you got a sahara

There is a fuse you could pull out behind the glove box that would turn off the interior lights. I believe its fuse #4. You could move that fuse to slot #20 which will disable that clutch safety switch so you don't need to push the clutch in every time you start it.

haha cool im going to do that fuse trick till i have time to hook up the switch i just got back to school so who knows when i get to work on it again i cant wait to do more to it.
