Nice build!! Do you plan on fixing the rust or reinforcing anything? or just wheel it on the cheep till the body breaks in half?

I plan to cut out most of the floor and re do it, as for rockers, im going with custom rock sliders. I dont plan on a cage or anything. I'm trying to keep this jeep under 2k, and so far I need to control my spending
Parting out the parts jeep should yeild me more of a budget boost. Thats the plan anyways. This jeep is going to be my winter vehicle for time to come, and I plan on going all out on a yj/tj in the future.
Ofcourse this jeep will also be my toy until that point, so I can learn how to wheel.

The body on my 95 is in about the same shape.

I found this place for replacement skin. http://www.quadratec.com/products/pr...nels&c=41&pg=1

Would I get bolts and pins for an S-10 or cherokee? And where would I get them? And how much should I look to spend? I appriciate all the help. Im on a budget 2 but need to go higher.

centerpin for an s10, youll have to drill the xj leafs to fit it.
youll get the same size ubolts as you have now, but longer.
Go to a spring shop in your area, the ubolts with nuts and washers and centerpins came to 42$ locally.

That back end looks familiar =P .Good luck with the build!

Thanks for the info

I havent updated in a while, mainly due to not bringing my camera, but also nothing has ben picture worthy.
The d30 is almost out of the parts jeep. I pulled the steering boxes from both jeeps to switch them. Also got some spacers for the front springs to match the rear bastard pack. custom one off piece I had my dad fab for me.

I picked up a transfer case drop for 5$ off someone locally, just incase I have vibes.
Basically I got the front bumper off and all the **** to do with that body wise, been taking it slow, but now that my daily driver is sold, I should be getting more work done on it (driving another project car while I wait.

my firestik **** came from walcot the other day


took these today walking by with my phone, nothing special, but its a picture.

I havent given up, just lacking motivation. I sold my daily driver to help fund the jeep, and for the extra push of not having a winter vehicle. So now I've been tooling on the ole hot rod everyday, trying to make it more road worthy.

Just lacking that ambhition to get er done on the jeep

its wet, and cold today again, but I'm thinking about going to get the front axel out of the other jeep and under my jeep, so atleast its moveable.

With that done, the main concern before winter will be the floors, makign sure the basics work, like heat, defrost and getting it aligned ect, doing all the tune up **** i bought for it on the first post.

No pics but I got most of the front axel in today, the home made spring spacers appear to big. I may have to cut them down.

A random sideshot, before I put the shocks in ect.


well looks can be decieving, they are perfect
Also the shock is in.



A pic of the newer power steering box, and new line

you're doing a great job. just wandering how much time you got in it?

Actual time, hmmm Well there was a big lapse in work due to some medical issues.

Hmm total hrs, less than 40.

Got the 95 brake upgrade mostly done, also the yj brake hose swap. I'll have pics later, Big updates to come tonight
