On to the build
--------------------------------------

It had sat this way for awhile.



I got a little bored so i decided to throw on a 2" bb on top of the 4" i already had. But before i could do that i had to get an sye. I found a deal on a np231 out of a 98 with less miles and a rubicon express hack n tap on it. So i bought that. Made a huge difference. Then i went ahead and put the bb on.



After that i addressed some bad tre's on the steering. I had the ****ty rugged ridge steering. Its a pile of crap nobody buy it. I upgraded to stock parts and got some zj v8 steering...tie rod, drag link. Feels great now and no more death wobble.

My alternator crapped on me this past Friday and i put a new one in on friday night.

Thats really about it as of right now. Next order of business is gettin some extended brake lines, ordering an IRO tie rod and im gettin some new Rough country 4.5" rear packs this week to make my jeep more level. I bought a low tread set of 35s a couple weeks ago that i might throw on after i paint the wheels.

More updates soon.

Nice rig man.

Deathwagon

Looks killer man! Can't wait to see the new pack on.

Keaton

I cant believe i never finished this thread lol. Welp long story short this build got cut short when i got rear ended on the freeway in Oct 2011. It was deemed totaled out. I only got 1800 out of it and unfortunately had to sell all the aftermarket parts off of it just to afford a new rig. I ended up buying a 2000 in Nov 2011 that im slowly, slowly building to be as good and better than this rig was.

Since i last posted in here though, i got 4.5" leaf packs and ran that with the 4" springs up front. got a front Warrior bumper, rear Durango 4x4 bumper and miscallaneous other small things.

Bummer man, im guessing that rear bumper wasnt salvagable if it was totalled. Thats a shame.
