thanks mann, i may need to steal u for a day to help me trim the rears at some point. (although i kinda was thinkin about cutting past the pinch welds and just welding some sheet metal in to cover things up...

and yeah i actually just permantly engaged the axle shafts so it works for now, ill probs wear out my front ujoints faster but oh well.. im hopin to swap to a newer front axle anyway once this summer hits.. yours is lookin good, if i must say so myself

yeah let me know if you want to can ask rob for my phone number or pm me and yeah my heep is getting there

Nice build love the lift looks like were all from the 413 im from westfield

aight definately mann, btw does anyone want a tire carrier? my hitch is rused out and falling apart, so i have no use for it lol

and yeah dude, im right here in agawam gaga i literally live next to westfield... i live about 2 mins away from robinson park/911 burgers and dogs haha where abouts in westfield r you? im surprised i dont see u around

I live 5 mins from stanley park. I actually live in Russell. But i went to school and lived in westfield for awhile. I just got my jeep less then 2 months ago. I drive by there all the time where u are. How much u lookin to get for that tire carrier? Got any pics? Im hopin to get a lift soon u got that bumper for a steal! I hope i can find one for a decent price as well. Tuff with the budget im on plus ive got a 4 yr old so im limited. I need a better job to fund my new addiction

tom man we gotta wheel sometime. i was chillin wit paul novinsky today and we were talkin bout your rig. trip sunday after tday if you wanna join. not sure where yet though.

haha yeah dude i hear ya, i was just thinkin of like 10 bucks for the carrier... its nothing perfect by any means but it holds up a 33" tire no problem .. and also if u wanted, i could give u a spare front bumper i have... you could easily weld a little stinger onto it if u wanted to or something?
i added u on the book so hmu if u need anythin

and yeahh dude im dyin to wheel, but im still in tht kinda money savin mode till next friday.. if ur down to wait till like next weekend or somethin id be cool wit some trailage... maybe some southampton trails or a little top run ? hmu on the book

Thanks bro i hit u up about the carrier. What kinda bumper??

Right now little top is close here is no way p to it the trees fell hard core you cant even get off the road

its ok atleast well have a trial soon right rob

Yea it would be sooner if more people would help

...hehehe sorry lol

and UPDATEEE so i made a roof rack... heres the fab thread..

https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f58/25...ht-bar-112606/

and ifu dont wanna look thru that.. heres a little garage pic till i get a better one... still need to do some work on the rack but its on there atleast



also i dont belive ive mentioned.. my best friends girlfriend goes to cosmotology school and she gave me this mannequin head.... his name is dave... danger dave and the looks i get are priceless hahahah

Sooo hopefully going to invest in some new tires/wheels/ and an SYE FINALLY. i am lookin at some new 33" bfg km2's, anyone know hom much they usually cost for a set? i get em discount, but i was still curious,

ALSO, ive been llookin at advanced adapters SYE kits.... looks like a kit will run me about 200 bucks? i am just a littl confused.. i thought certain years had different spline counts on the output shaft.. does that effect the sye kit i buy at all? i was lookin to get this one-

and then to cut costs for now i was just gonna go with an XJ or ZJ front driveshaft..

sooo not much has changed since ive last posted but i am slowly building up on stuff!

for xmas my family said theyd get or atleast split KM2's with me so ill have some actual tread on this thing soon enough ... either way it leaves me enough mmoney to install a well needed sye

OBVIOUSLY hearing the word SYE, i instantly thing "go bigger".
(who doesn't?)

so i was at my local junkyard today and came home with a couple goodies !

i got 2" lift shackles (greasable) for 20 bucks


a new piece of trim and directional light for 5


and a swing out tire carrier from a pathfinder for 20 bucks


a total of 40 bucks that will keep me busy for a while!

my hopes are to get some 2" coil spacers for up front and sit at 6.5" before spring hits

for the carrier.. i have been wanting to attempt to fab up a steel bumper so im just thinking i could weld it straight to that (it came wit all the latching mechanism stuff so it should be very easy to incorporate to the bumper.
my other thought was to have it as a swing-down carrier and just fab up some mounts so that i can just put it right into the bumper and id create a bracket that could attatch to my roof rack...
SO many options..

but overall im pretty happy wit my finds and i now understand why those guys from american pickers are so happy! this scavenging stuff is fun!

km2s with rims new over 1k

sye from advanced adapters 210 shipped too your door.

nice find on the shackles.
