Camo's wittle baby Jeep buiwd-up

Thank for the help with the title 4pointho and thedirt

Up to date wheeling pics page 17 on

I've been wanting a Jeep since elementary school, joined JF in 8th grade and got my first Jeep, a 2002 TJ, in 10th grade. The original plan was for my dad and I to restore a CJ, from lack of time my dad had and the time it took to restore an old Jeep, we decided to look for a newer Jeep.


First day I got it
Specs: 4.0L I-6(67k miles), 5 speed manual, Dana 30/35 with 3.07 gears, stock suspension on 32x11.50 A/T's


It was completely stock with 32x11.50 tires on it

A few days after I got it, we decided to hit up a small hole on a friend's property


Then a few more days later after a small shower, we decided to take it out again

We got stuck in one spot.. had to get pulled out my our friend in his F-150

The first true 'mod' I did was paint the headlight bezels white

Ok, now to get into the more serious stuff. My dad and I, with the help of my brother and his friend, installed a 4" Rough Country lift.

During



And finally after 2 weekends the lift was finished




We ordered some 15x10 Rock crawler Series 152 wheels from 4 Wheel Parts and ProComp Xtreme M/T 33x12.50-15 tires from 4WD

Got the tires and wheels mounted by my brother's buddy who owns a shop. Also had to get the clutch plate replaced.

Future mods(for now) will be Ground Pounder Fab(BESRK bumpers) front and rear bumpers, Ford 8.8 or Dana 44, re gear, and install the CB radio

Lots of little things will happen here and there throughout the main 'build'

That looks awesome. I like that you decided to go with the black headlight bezel. Very sharp.

i remember back in the days when you didnt even have a jeep, let alone a nice lifted one!

Good job son. One jeeper sells his pride and joy, another one builds his.
