it has some minor Issues I just changed the Cat & i'm gonna have to change the Alternator other than that it's not bad no rust either thanx for your input i appreciate it.

 

ok thanx for the info I'll try my learn my way around

 

ok very very helpful i got the answers i needed thanx again.

 

If you decide not to go with a full conversion into 4x4. I would suggest a locker for the 4x2. My uncle and I went into many a wooded area in only his 2 wheel Pick-up, some places the 4x4 owners we met could not believe we were out there. We learned to keep the wheels on solid ground and stay out of other vehicles ruts when off roading. If necessary check out the mud and water holes before venturing through them. Carry a come-a-long, chains and shovel for insurance. Stupidity is the greatest teacher. You'll learn not to do it again the next time. Good luck and have a great time in your jeep.

 

Thanx for the info i Will keep what you have said in mind thanx again.

 

lets see it!!
