Default 91 Tudor

I figure its about time for me to start a build thread considering that I've put about $1200 into and lots of hours of work into my 91 2door Cherokee since I bought it. I'm not going to even try to list what I've done up to now, so where its at now is going to be my "starting" point. I need to get some pictures of it, but right now its on a gay and ghetto budget boost done by the PO and sitting on almost new 31x10.50s. I just got in my RC Nitro 9000s for 2-4" of lift today and have OMEJC1A leaf packs on the way. For the front I'm going to be buying a set of used RC 3" coils off a buddy. Since I have to take the axels off anyways and my front axel vacuum disconnect is totally shot I'm going to be swapping in a Dana30 non-disco and Chrysler 8.25 with 3.55 gears to replace my Dana30 and 35 with 3.07 gears. Will be doing new u-joints on the front DS while I have it apart and would like to re-build the little slip-yoke thing on the DS

So I've actually had my lift on for over a week now and I'm just getting around to posting pics. I need to take some more as I have wheeling lights wired up now too.

Before/during






Here's the contraption I had to use to break the bolts in the front frame rail loose. This is after I sprayed them with PB blaster multiple times and allowed them to soak.


Done:






Comparison to when I bought it:

Really, like REALLY?! I don't get why we can't just disagree and leave it at that. I'm not looking to start a war over a disagreement about tuning Jeep ECMs.

There is a city ordinance that says its illegal to work on a vehicle in the street. Its not enforced at all and my neighbor who hates my guts called the cops on me and they didn't do anything. I'm going to move everything to the back of the house when I get the chance
