155,xxx as of Dec 2009
Inline 6 4.0
Dana 30/35
AX-15
No lift
235/75r15 tires

In its purest form

A little bit of flex

Took the jugs off

Summer time, and I picked up a trailer for my mowers

Then one of my good friends got a Nice 03 Rubi

Got a new radio with a cd player from another girl with an 01 wrangler

all washed up.

I did some concrete wheeling lol

Took the carpet out and put in an air compressor

Sexy 4.0

What are the plans?

**J-B** · 12-29-2009, 01:56 PM

1 - matching spare rim
2 - wheel it, which I already do
3 - 31's or 265/75r15
4 - 2 in BB or RC 2.5
5 - rocker guards, and a winch
6 - armor, anywhere and everywhere
7 - limited slip rear, and lockers front
8 - Rhino Lining, or something similer
9 - Tube fenders and 33's
10 - 4.88 gears, thankfully I have 3.73 right now. So new gears with 33 wont be top priority
11 - By the time all this takes place it will be time to redo engine and transmission. I'm thinking stroked 4.7 maybe?
12 - wheel it!

You need some tires man.

**Swagger_Wagon** · 12-29-2009, 02:22 PM

+1, that'd be a cheap mod with really positive results.

Tires should definitely be next on the list. Also the RC 2.5" kit is great, I would go with that over a BB, especially since you wheel it.

And nice Jeep BTW

If you plan on lining the tub I would go with raptor liner not rhino. I have not done it to mine yet but I think raptor looks so much better.

Now all you need is tires and a lift

I am working on that! First I have to get the approval from dad for a lift, then I have to obtain the money. Which I dont have right now being winter time and im in school. My current job only pays for my normal living expenses; food, dates, and gas. (My parents don't give me ANY money, which is fine with me.) So it will probably be at least late summer before tires and lift.

Dad says no to painting or using a heat gun on the flares.

Ive got 6 Jeep rims for sale. Plus 1 spray painted black rim, and the rim on the spare tire. Which will hopefully be off in the near future. If anyone is interested. They are 15in by 7in. They came stock on a 93 YJ

Well I have a problem with the Jeep
Ever since the new rims have been on, there has been a mysterious squeaking noise. Dad and I took it out tonight to try and diagnose where and what the problem is. We narrowed it down to something in the front axle probably the drivers side. It could possibly be U-joint, brakes, problem with installation of the rims, or anything else related. Whatever it is hopefully they can fix it tomorrow morning, and it will be cheap. Also the owner of the tire shop is very knowledgeable about Jeeps.
