My 1999 build

When i bought this jeep it was completely stock, and it had 86,000 miles on it. I had to replace the exhaust, and fix a ball joint. This is my daily driver so i didnt want to change it a whole lot, but i did plan on putting a 3in rc lift, and custom bumpers. Also i may get a safari rack.

As soon as i got the jeep i took it offroad lol. I took it mudding and just crawled through it in 2 wheel. Once i came home and my mom saw what i did with my "daily driver", she was MAD!! haha

God after 4 long hours we put it on. It was hard getting the rear leaf springs off, and of course the rear shock bolts broke off, but i was expecting it bcause it happens on most xj's. But here are some pics of what it looks like now!!

I took the jeep and had it aligned yesterday and it drives great. There is a slight vibration but im in the process of putting shims on the back so that should take care of it. Also im about to buynew tires and a new heavy duty steering system.

Well i just ordered my new rock crawler street lock rims last night so they should be here for christmas!http://www.jeepforum.com/ubb/cheers2.gif Next on the list is swaybar disc. and differential covers for front and rear axles. Im also saving money for either a flowmaster or a dynomax exhaust. Im hoping to re-gear my gears soon too, what would be a good ratio for a dd and moderate off roading?
