So I got My 93 2.5 yj a couple month ago and want to try to start a build thread on it so here it goes!
When I first got my yj it came to me with a busted up 4 inch rc lift (Wich had broken springs in it) a 2 inch bl (that was missing a couple pucks) and lots of gay chrome (grill and tube bumper) the first thing I did when I got it home was take the top off and removed the chrome kill cover!
Next I took the rear chrome bumper and the little spare 31 off!
Next I took the unglued front bumper of in favor of a Tj stock bumper and painted the headlight bezels!
sorry the pics are out of order I am doing this on my phone
Put my cb antenna back (mounted on my spare tire stop) yesterday and today I mounted a couple more hella lights on my winch plate tonight....I still need to wire them but will shave that till tomorrow night!
So today I went out with my local club whidbey4x4 on are sober up run today! I did get any real trail damage today but my front axle is ready for some new u joints for sure and also at of no were my drivers door decide it did't want to open any more. So I guess I will taking my door apart tomorrow to see what going on with that! I will be post up more pics as I get them from every one sales that was taken them.
So just a little update- today I replaced my lf axle shaft ujoint and man was it toast, and I have my front drive shaft at the driveline shop getting rebuilt as we speak the slip shaft part of the shaft was wasted along with the ujoint in it the shop is rebuilding it with a beefier slip shaft then they are rebalanceing it and I hope to pick it up friday! Next month I could be getting a share type of check from work and if this all goes as planed next month I am ordering my power steering setup, a spartan locker for the hp dana 30 and also the axle shafts from iro that come with the 760x u joint and the almost alloy kits installed in them all ready I am so stoked!
So I got my front drive line back from the shop to day! It's looks nice and beefy now! They said it was all sorts of out of balance! They cut the old spline off and welded a nice thick one in its place and install new u joints for me I know pretty lazy of me but oh well. tomorrow I will install it on my lunch break, I am stoked now I am ready for the vacuum disconnect delete (solid axle swap) now that I don't have to worry about drive line vibes!
I called up randys ring and pinion to find out some pirceing and if I orded the stuff threw my work the locker will cost me 207 before tax and they said a set of yukon chromolly shaft would set me back 480, I think instead of the iro shafts I may just go with the yukon chromolly shaft up front seeing how they have a life time warranty!
That's not a bad call, sorry if I missed it but what locker are you thinking? By the way your Jeep is an inspiration to me. Perfect combination of trail rig and DD.
So I went out wheeling with 91BOD today and had a great time minus the one time I had to pull line ( wouldn't of happen if I had power steering!) should have more pics and maybe some vids later!
here is a link of me going over what people call the egg rock....three wheel action baby!
and I also have this vid of me failing to get over this rock (I hade to winch over it hurt my pride) since I don't have power steering every time I almost got it my wheel would jame into the bank and it was almost in possible to man handle the wheel!
and than this is 91BoD taking on the eggrock .........
man I want to wheel up there! looks like a lot of fun
