hello all.

the story of "HEEP" starts a little over a month ago, when I get a call from a female co-worker that her jeep had "blown up" and she needed a tow home., and along the way she didnt stop saying how much of a "POS" that it was.So I offered her $400 and to my surprise she took it without any hesitation.... and after a quick root around under the hood and asking her what it kept doing (shredding belts and the batt never stayed charged... also it started to sound "like metal in a washing machine")... i determined that the alt had locked up


and boy did it vv



and here are pics of the day i got her



and the nasty interior shot




fast forward a few weeks, an oil change, a reinstalled rear hatch interior,

i scored this initial part of my master plan



for $50

im picking up this unused adj. tracbar and a set of ZJ coils that are 2 inch lift with new isolators for $50.



got alot of really cool things
carpeting(tan)

most of the interior plastic (tan)

a completely new(to me) hatch with defrost and the button to open it(big deal for me)

new tails

rear hatch struts


new seats this pic is with the fronts installed


and 8.25 and a dana30

and thats about it( i think)

pulled the old POS pioneer headunit and wired in the unit i got from a buddy of mine and ... it ejects and recieves the cd but not display and no sound. any ideas?

how HEEP started the day



and for some reason the rear looks like poop in the shot but its really not that bad, on the plus side i have a wiper, defrost, and a lil opener ****.

Pheonix(480)

question is the jeep red white or green? haha

DUDE454

I want to see this thing lifted with these new tires. Doing good man.

trektrek

the jeep was red/white and then i changed out the hatch to have defroster,wiper,and the lil' opener so as it is now its red/green. That is until i get my OD green and "rhino liner".... im doing roll on liner to the top of the fender flares and OD green from there up....and i cant wait to lift this pig lol.

I got a call today from a good friend of mine that has no idea what things are worth.... and he informed me that he has a set of 4.5 inch lift xj coils that he claims to be " black diamond" and he also has the control arm drop brackets....and i can get them for a steal....should i do it and resale em or use em?

Schatty

get em for sure if there a steel, and post pics
you could use the coils on the front then buld a bastard pack for the rear and use those shackles you got... then you'll prob want to use the ca drop brackets it your riding 4.5

trektrek

so your thinking buy his coils and CA drop brackets and build a bastard pack to lift it about 2.5?...if so we are thinking the same.... and also pick up some fixed LCAs

trektrek

really cold,wet and nasty rims plus night time cell phone shots equal really bad mock up pic

Schatty

i think were on the same track... do er up

trektrek

i need help with my cd player... i have it wired and i have no power .... wtf

Schatty

how do you have it wired? just twisted together?

trektrek

i figured it out... just screwy hack-job wiring from the owners past was messing me up.... but i got it now lol



and as of 1243am tennessee time... i have 300 views as opposed to 215 on NAXJA so o lets keep showing 2dr love lol

daytime shot of the CD player... and the BB is being thrown on tmmrw....also i got to wheel the HEEP at my uncles horse farm....complete with creek and rocky trail..even in stock trim with street tires i was surprised with how well it did with the varied terrain.
