Default Pile O'**** build.

So I'm starting this thread kinda late into my owing of this jeep.
Back in September I bought this '98 classic with a 4.5 in rustys lift (upper and lower CA's and full leafs). 33's that were wore down, a leaky water pump, bad ac compressor, alternator bearings shot, and the tie rod was in a U shape. Oh and some pretty bad body damage in the back and in the passenger door.

I threw some 33x12.5x15's I had laying around on. Dayton timberline a/t's. This jeep was meant to replace my 89 in the picture below, which I sold to a friend for him to build.

Sure the tie rod isn't a ZJ one? They do have a bow shape to them.

Literally the day I got it home I threw a V8 ZJ tie rod on, it was a bent stock one before. I replaced the water pump and all that stuff.

About 2 months in I found the owner never welded a hanger for the exhaust, and it was dumped out before the rear axle also. Everything from the crossmember back fell
