This is my friend Aaron's 95 XJ...it's in progress. It WAS his trail rig...then his saturn blew up and since this has yet to break, he's DD'ing it now

specs:
5" RC lift (full springs no AAL)
3,000 miles on the 4.0 (I built it for him)
aw4
np231 (no SYE)
1.5" trans drop
dana 30 3.55 gears (plans to replace with fullsize or regear)
chryco 8.25 3.55 gears (plans to replace with fullsize or regear)
custom front bumper
unfinished custom in-cab snorkel

I'll let the pics do the talking. he's building the rock rails tonight, and we start building the new back of the cab next week...we are doing a cheromanche with this. it'll look better once the rear hatch is gone and the rear windows are gone.













cut rear wheel wells with YJ flairs

front side...removable skid plate

trans drop. temporary until belly skid is done

flipped gas tank and you can see the intake

lots of pics...I'll update as it progresses.

redone and rhino lined floors

engine bay

intake tube through firewall...still has to build a reinforcement ring to go around the hole, and seal it up


hood "vents"


Warthog tusks

driver's floor and you can see the intake tube. he's going to run that inside of 4.5" PVC to keep it out of his way

nice tail lamps. lol.

looks like it will be a beast in the trails.

JeepCoMJ

it has been. he can only wheel in wisconsin right now due to some restrictions (not a bad guy AT ALL just made a few mistakes), so he spends more time mudding than anything.

he aspires to be a trail junky


tail lights were done with a little coaxing by me lol...it'll look great when the back is all chopped off and they're not sunk in by the damned lift gate.

did he lift it more? looks higher than the last time i saw it.

JeepCoMJ

chopping the rear fenders and fronts then putting the YJ flares on it made it look alot bigger.

he needs to put some **** carpeting in the headliner then we can call it a big furry tractor

Wait after some few important MODS and this truck would definitely be a monster off the road.... Can't wait for the transformation....

Looks good that thing has a narly *** front bumper, I'm in the process of building mine, I got the main stump mounted today hopefully it will be done by this weekend, I did the floors in mine to, it so convient without carpet

JakeWI

wow. it has gone so far since i have seen it last. last time i saw it was when i was helping you with the motor. i need to see this in person asap.

JeepCoMJ

already is

but yeah can't wait to help him get the chop top done. he's also doing an exo...and it will look as narly as the front bumper does, but be strong and capable.

I didn't think his welds and blocky design would look good at first...but it SOOO fits him and his jeep lol.

projectmayhem...good luck. It apparently wasn't all that hard.

the reciever on the front accepts his smittybuilt winch which is mounted on a winch plate with a reciever. he still has to hardwire the winch wiring to front and back...he's got quick disconnects for the wires and he will be adding a reciever on either side of the roof for self-recovery so he'll have extensions for all of the winch cables.

needs to upgrade his alternator to duals with 137A's

JakeWI

we need to do a meet soon. you, aaron, wade, joe, steve, me and others to charcoal grill or something!

JakeWI

do those tires rub on the front skid with full turn?

JeepCoMJ

nope. though they may at full turn and full flex. I'll get some flex shots friday when he comes to play on the rock pile

JakeWI

wow. now i wish i could some home friday

JeepCoMJ

then come home friday lol
