Default My ZJ Build

I purchased this zj in february 2011 for 3500.



It stayed stock for like a month.
Painted Grill, Cladding and Tail Lights






Then ordered my 3.5in lift kit from rough country.


Got it installed and scored a roof rack for 20 bucks.



Took it offroading with the stock tires



it sat that way for a while due to lack of funds.

As it sits now


3.5in lift sitting on 33s

Got some updates. no pictures yet. Truck was in operable for about a month with a blown rear axle. got that fixed. Then scored a trailer hitch for free. scored a new driver seat and headlight switch for 40. and a new grill for free. Hitch is getting mounted this weekend. cutting my front fenders also. also possibly scoring my swap axles for really cheap soon. hp30 and a ford 8.8. both will be re-geared to 4.56 and locked. and ordering a long arm kit from iro in the next 3-4 weeks.
