New here.. So my name is Mike and I live in NJ. ok now we got that out of the way.. Here is my build from when I got it.. to now.
7/19/2015 I use to wheel the hell out of a 96 zj 3.5 on 35s. Got rid of it when I moved. Started to miss being offroad, and the Hyundai just wasn't making it as far offroad as I wanted to be. Got a good deal on a 96 XJ 4.5 on 35s. Only has two spots of rust, which will be fixed in the coming months. This RIG is going to be 100% offroad use. But needs to stay road legal to get to wheeling spots. Plans are 5.5 with long arms, staying with 35s. Keeping HP30 front and putting a ford 8.8 rear in. Going to be getting a cage and exo done when time allows. The ad. This has been sitting in my driveway for too long, time to move on... 96 4.0 auto 231 case @160k miles D30 8.25 3.55s RE 4.5" front coils RC adjustable lowers RE fixed uppers Bastard pack rear springs and shackle 35x12.5x15 BFG mud terrains with full spare 15x8 black rockcrawler rims Iron rock hack and tap with XJ front shaft in rear Lots of trimming Longer brake lines Longer shocks Front frame reinforcement plates Custom front bumper, winch mount in progress Curt rear hitch Etc.... http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j1...f33dcd0511.jpg Attachment 408399 8/30/2015 starter was replaced today..

Attachment 408402 Attachment 408403 Attachment 408404 1/12/2016 Jeep was going to Globex in toms river for tires mounting... and it wouldnt stay running. I would have to rev it to keep it going.

New Water pump. The one that 4 wheel parts sent me didnt work so I had to install an oem one. Also had my new tires put on.
Next week will have my NSS installed, and maybe some steering upgrades. Attachment 408395 Attachment 408396 Attachment 408397 Attachment 408398 |

Welcome, looks solid. Jackson isn't far from Wildwood, maybe I'll see you at Jeep Invasion come June. If you're interested check it out on facebook. Do you have an 8.8 already? Seeing as it's a '96 it could have the 29 spline 8.25 depending on the month it was built and that should be fine for 35s. Just a thought. |
