I miss her dearly but once gas hit $3.50 a gallon I had to sell her.. 6 mpg sucked. I sold her to a guy who still wheels her to this day so she is being used properly. Sorry about the no audio.. I need to recap the vids again.

so awesome man, ive always loved k5's, and im slowly saving up to buy a nice streetable dd k5, probably wont lift it, but im gonna put alot of engine and drivetrain work into it

prerunner1982

Cherokeeaddiction.. if you want a streetable K5... why not go with a 2wd? Of course would be harder to find, but if you are going to drop money into the drivetrain it may be a better platform.

yeah thats a good idea, but also i dont wanna be stranded in the winter with it though, cause i dont know how much longer its gonna be before i make the jeep illegal haha, but i guess if the snow is bad enough ill just pull the jeep out, i dont think the cops are gonna be bothering me if im just trying to go to the store in it

It's very hard to find a 2wd k5 anymore. Stick with 4wd. Oh when I first bought it I thought to myself.. I'm going to keep it stock and run 31's.. yea.. here is the progression it went through

Stock the week I bought it.. 31x10.50's


4" lift, 33x12.5 BFG AT's and 3/4 ton drivetrain (knew i'd need it later)


4" lift, 35x14.5 Mickey T's, minor fender trimming


4" lift, 37x12.5 (drawing a blank.. the 37's on military hummers) and a bit more fender trimming


4" lift, 38.5x16 TSL's and more fender trimming


4" lift, 2" body, 38.5x16 TSL's


6" lift, 2" body, 38.5x16 TSL's major fender trimming. Easily cleared my buddies 42's

haha i went through the same thing with me jeep, nah ill just keep the bb and stick with 31's yeah that didnt happen haha. Yeah id just get 4wd that way i have it when i change my mind lol. Plus 2wd are rare, i dont think ive ever seen one around here, but 4wds are a dime a dozen, funny how they are all over clist but ive seen maybe two driving around

Nice! I had a 89 FSB on 40" TSLs. I loved that thing! I drove it over a car once then traded it a couple of weeks later for a stock Samurai that didn't run. LOL!

Pics of running over a car...


Its a pic of a pic, I'm sure you get the idea.
