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

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?
