So I've had my jeep for 10 years, first 4x4 I purchased. It's a 1996 classic, NP231, dana 30/C8.25. She's seen better days, but with that being said "Betty sue" is getting a full makeover. Here a few pics of how she sits now. My lift will be in sometime next week.

 

Should tell us more haha. What made you want to modify it, when/why the chop top, what lift, and finally 33s?

 

Sorry about being so vague. Well it's a Jeep; so modifying is a necessity. I got bored one day after returning home from deployment(2009) so I decided chop top. The only issue I had was I had too much to drink so it came out horrible. Fortunately it allows me to brush up on my fab skills . The Tires are 35x12.5r15 Pro comp Xtreme MT2. The lift i a 6.5 inch IronRock Offroad LA with HD mega short SYE, and Tom woods driveshaft.

 

So List of Mods currently in the works:

6.5 inch LA IRO
35in Pro Comp Xtreme MT2
Bumpers
Fenders
Header Panel


Mods that'll be purchased/built by Beginning of Jun 2015

Lockers
4.88 Gears
Supercharger or Stroker
Rock Sliders
Cage
LED light bars


Anymore recommendations are welcomed too

 

It's going to be sick when "finished"

 

So got some more "parts" in the mail; a marine radio and speakers, transmission mount and some 12VDC switches. Lift will be here Monday!!! 😍😍😍

 

Sweet plans man. So do you have the GOOD 8.25 or the 27 spline? I know 96 is kind of a bastard year so you may have either one. Check it before ordering gears.

Parts part parts.... man, I wish I had this much progress on mine lol.

 

I'm literally on the cusps of the 27/29 spline ordeal. My build tag on the door says 06/96 so I'm going to pull an axle shaft today or tomorrow to see. I'll also be doing the disk brake swap this weekend hopefully if I can find the parts I need today.

 

I'll keep my fingers crossed for ya

 

So Disc brake swap, front fenders, and header panel are postponed until Monday or Tuesday. I did get both axles pulled and I'll have them painted tomorrow. I'll post some more pics tomorrow evening.

 

Pull the shaft and do a spline count yet?

 

No, tomorrow and sunday are completely dedicated to the Jeep. Along with some of next week since I have spring break but my daughter is top priority for spring break activities.

 

Definitely understand that one man. That's probably why such little progress has been made on mine. Between working so much overtime and try to spend what little time I have off with wife and kids - not much time for Jeep mods and torch time left over.

 

So fuel pump came in, will be hitting up the JY Sunday for parts. Lift will be on over the next 3-4 days then have to wait for the new driveshaft to come in

 

JYs near you are open on Sundays?!?!?! I gotta come up there!
