project "clifford" the red 4 door
 

so after scrapping my last xj i couldnt last very long with out another. i picked this gem up off craigslist for $600. runs perfect no rust. just needed a windsheild and some tlc. the day i got it home i started taking out the interior to ditch the nasty carpet and trim. i plan bedlining the whole inside and chop topping it. as for suspension i have iro long arm system and 8" springs for the front with a rustys double shear adjustble trac bar. the rear i have rc springs with a 2" shackle. and running rc shocks on all 4 corners. i already installed a rugged ridge cold air intake and throttle body spacer. i plan on redoing all the brakes and running over the knuckle steering. stay tuned and let me know what yall think

finally gettin some progress goin halfway through the lift right now and got the old interior out and picked up a gallon of herculiner for the floorboards

lift kit contains
8" iro lift srings
iro long arm system
iro double shear trac bar
rustys adjustable trac bar
rc shocks
crown extended brake lines
rc 4" leaf springs
2" lift block for now till i get 6" springs
2" drop shackle.

also picked up a ford 8.8 with 4:10's and limited slip with the conversion kit installed already for $200

replaced the bushings in the leaf springs because they were used on 2 jeeps before this replaced them with polyurethane bushings from jc whitney.

changed the valve cover gasket, power steering pump, and belt today.

and almost $300 later oil change, plugs,wires, cap,rotor button,all new tie rod ends, and all new upper and lower ball joints tomorrow shall be a long day. also getting rid of the mechanical fan and installing 2 electric fans on toggle switches. and next week ordering 4 35x12.5x15 bfg all terrains and 4 15x10 cragar soft 8's and getting my front end regeared to 4:10's to match the rear.

tires and fender trim

how she sits now and the push start setup

What are your plans for the front end? are you just leaving it at that?

Very weird seeing brand new clean wheels on dirty tires. Build looks like it's coming along nicely though!

So your going to be running 410's with the 35s? Why not 488? Just curious. I'm looking into regearing very soon myself.

This.

Why are you getting two track bars according to that first list lol?

Like the name and build! I've got a red 94 4 door

x2 on the red!!!

i have the header panel and all for the front just havent got that far yet wanted to make sure my radiator and fan setup would work first before i put i all back and had to take it back off.

and 4:10's because the 8.8 i bought already had 4:10's so itd be cheaper to just match the front than redo both and im only running the stock axles to the completely fall apart i have a matching front and rear 3/4 ton set of axles for it just a matter of finding time with my job.

2 trac bars was a mistype lol the double shear mount is from iron rock offroad and the trac bar is from rustys

thanks for the support guys

debaged and took all the plastic siding off the jeep and cleaned the gunk off probably gonna roll on bedliner on the bottom half
