the 88 Heep
so i am gonna start this build thread and up date it as i go along. i have and 88 jeep that i got from my best friends 87 year old grandpa, my other one that i started with had the 4.0 that had 300,000 and it died and being the idiot that i am i pulled the 4.0 and tranny and replaced it with a 2.8 (i know dumb):oops: and it was a wiring nightmare so it is now my parts jeep:gunsmilie:but i got this one for 1000 bucks it runs, drives, and most importantly every thing works! i have a 4.5 rough country kit i bought i think i will only wind up moding it when i start crawlin. and eventually i am gonna put toyota axels under it locked front and rear.

With the 4.5 lift from RC did you get new brake lines or use the ext brackets the kit comes with? I noticed with mine i cant flex too much or it will snap the front brake lines. Looks really good man

Looks great

If you wheel it, lock the front..**** even if you don't wheel it but use your 4x4 often then still lock the front..a brand new spartan costs 230 shipped to your door. And the front will help you pull through stuff vs pushing through it! Much better option! If you want to lock the rear look into an aussie! |
I'm gonna wheel it... and drive it... so think I wanna lock front and rear

t case drop kit
ok i got the t case drop kit installed and it was pretty easy thanks to pb blaster and the destruction's tell you to double nut the studs and twist them out. ya right so i got a pair of vice grips and clamped on and turned back and forth every turn or so i gave it another shot of pb.
