ok so i got all the parts swapped over to the new jeep, but with that being said the bolts for the trasnfer case on the 97+ models arnt as long as the 96 and older models so the tcase drop i had wouldnt work with it so i had to go out and buy a sye it. i bought the advance adaptor kit and am going to use a front drive shaft from a xj that i can get a jy for the new rear driveshaft. plus i need to get my crankshaft sensor replaced and get some rock sliders on the new just as long with the rest of my other additional parts b4 i take this puppy wheeling again. anyway hers a pic of her as i got her back today.

 

love the steelies.

 

thanks, iv gotten more comments on those steelies then anything else on my entire jeep, only cost me 100 for all 4. cheap and does the trick.

 

so you swappin the bumper over too? too bad you had to spend the money on another jeep, but i know the feelin, had to do the same last month put about 300 dollars into an 89 i bought jeep and expected it to run..ya didn't happen had a cracked block so i bought an 87, very glad i did minus the little issues i am having.

 

yea def swapping over front bumper and my front skid. the roof rack for now, although im gonna be getting 31s when my 33s are done so i might end up looking to sell or trade the roof rack for some kinda rear tire carrier. yeah having to put all the money into a new jeep sucks esp when like you said you havta put extra money into it that you hadnt planned on putting into it when u got it. ahh well thats what owning a jeep does to one. wouldnt trade it for anything.

 

update time, the sye is going in tuesday i contacted rough country and there gonna send me a new trac bar end since mine is shot, gonna have a local fab guy do some work on my upper rear shock mounts and my leaf spring perches. gonna get that sensor replaced. them just havta decide what degree shims i need and get them installed and have my buddy make me some custom rock sliders and then just get the rest of my parts transfered over. hopefully withing 2-3 weeks my jeep will finally be 100% finished!!! cant wait.

 

ok so i got my sye kit in and used a automatic 98 cherokee sports front drive shaft for my new rear, although i am going to need it lengthened for the time being it works, i also got my rear upper shock mounts fixed for all 4 bolts had snapped. here are some pics for you guys

 

so i got a set of 31s today and had em mounted on my black steelies. 350 for all 5 and he mounted them for free heres a few pics.

 

thats a bad *** deal on them tires i want some lol

 

Very nice build I'm jealous lol.

 

thanks guys all my money goes into this jeep had to get a new one so now im doing everything right. haha

 

ok so i got a rear tire carrier put on the jeep the kid i bought it from measured it so poorly and i had to fab and modify the thing like a ****. i had to cut a part of the rear hatch off so it would close. and the peice that mounts to the hatch is crooked beacuse he measured it off the it would be covering the handle to the hatch if straight and the rear wiper gets in the way. i had to re angle the wiper so its fit. here are some pics and any further questions just give me a shout out.

 

Update time. finally getting my rock sliders put on next weekend. followed by that im gonna finish armoring the under body. full engine and tcase skid diff covers and gas tank skid. then lights for front bumper and by next summer i wanna have a rear locker put it. i will get pics up as everything comes along. stay tuned.

 

sliders are being painted tomorrow and put on saturday. heres a few pics of them. custom made by a buddy of mine. look to be incredibly strong.

 

Those sliders look ungodly heavy.. but ungodly strong as well. Should look BA, i'd paint them with some ruberized paint or something IMO
