I'm starting this thread for my 1998 wrangler it's chilli pepper red and has got pretty low miles. I ordered a aev budget boost, metal cloak front fenders and upol raptor bedliner. I'll post a really through write up on how I'll paint them and how the bedliner goes. I can't post pics yet but once I can I'll post how it's going the work should start chitsmas day. I'm also lifting my friends cherokee and putting in dome racing seats so some of that Might show up.

The jeeps been at a proshop since I hit a deer back at the beginning of November. It been awful without it and my back up car, a lifted isuzu rodeo final died, so iv been stuck at home. Ordered some flat black d window rims with 3.75 in of back spacing so I can run 35s. I'm going to get bfg km2 after I get accepted to college, my parents are gonna pay for part depending on how many schools I get in.

Got the jeep back today. Iv got a lot to do to get it were i want and evidently the nut that the factory tacks into place in the front crossmember to hold the bumber in place got knocked lose that's gonna be a pain, and the soft tops done hope it doesnt rain till I get the Bedliner in.

The rock crawler d window steelys came in today.

[SCchillipepper]

Ok upol is waiting for me got the soft top and done undercarriage lights from off road only, I'm leaving to go to the lake tonight if It doesnt snow.

[SCchillipepper]

Started doing work on Sunday it snowed so couldnt paint the fenders till today, got the old ones off really easily but wen I put the new ones on there were no instructions on the second horn placment so I fabed up a braver and used the mounting hole for the washing fluid. Were also lifting my friends xj and I think we've broken almost every bolt. Tomorrow I'll get the fenders on and bed line the interior.

Ok got everything installed it took about four days. Haven't had a computer and then i was studying for mid terms so haven't been able to post or take it off road yet.

To do list:
35x12.5R15 Goodyear MT/R with kevlar- definitely next but need to be saving

I want to keep it fairly low so im going to piece together my own "lift kit"
I've been thinking:
ZJ front coils
CV rear progressive coil
Jks adjustable tract bar
JKs quicker disconnects
Full traction 3 link rear
Adjustable front upper and lower control arms
Adjustable Lower rear control arms


Not sure who to get the control arms from maybe jks or currie, the zj and cv coils are because i can get some brand new zj springs for free, and progressive cv coils for probably free, got friends lifting both so ill just take the leftovers.
