jrameys mild not wild build
hey all, ive been an avid jeeper for some time now, just recently decided to join this forum to start a build thread and share.
so a little background i guess. ive got a 97 with 170ish on the ticker, 4.0l c8.25 np 231 etc. bought it a year ago for $2200. after i bought it i had to replace the radiator because it was leaking around the seems and the oil pressure sensor as well. so here is how she looked when i brought her home

after a while the ole rubber wore out and have had to replace a few TREs and replaced the track bar. found a good set of hankook dynapros on craigslist for 200 on stock steels so i bought them and painted the wheels black and the grill and light bezels
old cat was rattling bad and the muffler was starting to rust out so i ordered magnaflow cat and muffler from performance-curve.com and upgraded to 2.5" pipe
got it all nice and welded in saturday and it sounds so much better now
things to do still are replace the oil filter adapter orings ( its been leaking pretty bad) and valve cover gasket.
as far as upgrades go i have a zone 3" aal kit sitting in the garage waiting for warm weather and to gather up the rest of the stuff i want for it
i just ordered ironman4x4 fab upper and lower control arms yesterday and still trying to decide what track bar to go with.

I need to get an adj track bar but haven't made up my mind on which one I wanna go with. I want one that'll be good for 3-4.5" of lift cuz I'm sure later down the road she's gonna grow taller. I'm getting drive line vibes as of right now so Im gonna whip up a case drop for now and will prob do a hack n tap sooner rather than later. I wanna get the suspension to a solid point where I'm done upgrading before I invest in tires, its mainly a dd right now anyhow so I'll run the hankooks till its time to buy new.
