Something inexpensive to do yourself. If you are keeping the flares and bumpers for awhile, repaint those. Getting rid of that faded look will def. make it easy on the eyes.

Oh Ok, i belive it has the rough country front arms with it looks like some ranchos in the front and back with blocks in the back aswell. i have a roof rack i found for a good price on the way and i will add a light bar to it befor it gets re-powdercoated.

i was going to ask everyone, it sounds as though it has some driveline vibrations at about 45+, what can fix this?

For the vibes a T-case drop or a SYE
Get rid of the blocks if you have the funds they arent worth the truoble down the road.

What would hardware be?

BB? and tires are some kind of firestones.

its got front and back tow hooks already, or am i missing something? haha

thanks!

Hardware consists of but is not limited to lifts, suspension, body mods(bumpers, fenders,flares), and miscellaneous goodies like winches, lights and stingers. Some mostly cosmetic but useful accessories that don't really pertain to the engine. I would consider axle mods hardware as well. Lockers would obviously be included in this category.

Now since this jeep's already got some goodies such as a lift, tow hooks, and seems to be in good shape what other mods will most benefit what you plan on doing with this baby? I like those tires too.

There are a bunch of different t-case drops out there. I use Rusty's cheap one and it works great and was easy to install. I think it was only like $25.00.

found out it already has a t case drop, and the vibration is from worn U-joints on the front drive line.

i got a roof rack that i need to tab to mount on the roof, then ill grab some lights for the rack. after that i am thinking a weld in cage for some safety just in case i ever topple this thing over.

any one have any recomendations for weld in cages?
