My First Build: Orange MJ
Thursday i went down to jackson, mi ( around a 5 hour drive from where i live) to pick up this mj. i fell in love the instant i saw it and had to have it price was pretty decent $3500. anyways money is kinda tight right now so im progressing this build slowly but surely.
The good:
35in bfg mud terrains ( around 75% tread left)
Custom slap shift mod on a aw4 trans
4.10 gears
Xj buckets
newer center console
newer gage cluster with tack
99 xj 4.0 90,000 miles on it
Injectors
torque converter
New orange and black paint job
Bushwacker fender flares
Cone air filter( specter brand i believe
EDIT: forgot
Custom homebrew longarms
Rusty's coils
shackles in the rear
Comanche metric ton driveshaft
The bad:
Floor boards going ( easy fix working on it )
kinda ripped up interior needs some remodeling
No radio
some sketchy wiring but going to tackle that project real soon
Crappy radiator fan
all in all it was a pretty good purchase and made it the whole way with zero problems but plenty of gas

I'd say the best is 3/16ths, some people go bigger but I don't think its necessary, I've never made my own but most ones you'd buy are that as well. Great MJ by the way, looks already pretty built for you.
