An uninspiring build
Mudb8, you'll like this


did some trading around and ended up with this






specs
97 4 banger 5 spd D30/D35 with 456 gears and detroits front n rear 2" spacer lift brand new 35" pro comp.
When it gets here next week i'll pull shafts and count splines.

Plan,
S35 / HP30 Detroits stay(until I get money for an ARB in the 35), gears to 4.88 money permitting
Atlas
pull the BB and put in a set of Rubi Ultd springs, cut as necessary
Replace the hood to a full size hood in fiberglass
build my own AL tube fenders. WE Rock doesn't allow high line fenders in Mod-Stock
Savvy flat skid / engine skid set
Savvy tank skid
Savvy rocker guards
add a winch
fix the cage so it will not collapse in a hard roll
Aluminum SA arms and track bars
Aluminum tie rod and drag link
Wilwood Dynalites on all four corners.
Rear cutting brakes/line locks
Whatever else MrBlaine can come up with in AL
I'm trying to get to 2500-2750 # gross weight

if there is a manufacture that claims they have a track bar that will work, I'll never believe it unless one gets sent to me to install and inspect... I actually check this stuff with a centered axle at ride height and the springs out, not a fork lift flex test... of course it won't hit that way. I don't need one BTW, but I could sell a ton of em if there's one out there that works and is strong enough. I'm willing to do the work to get it right..... are you?

Why not an 8.8 rear?

Nice rig. I like the sleeper mentality.

Good to see you still have a red jeep though. Your other tj was sweet from the pics I saw so Id say this one will be rowdy too.

Can't wait to watch this one transform. Guessing you are sticking with 35s?

Why did you sell the other Jeep?
