4.0 I6 190hp engine
Aisin-Warner AW-4 4-speed automatic

Dana 30 High Pinion Front
Chrysler 8.25 Rear
3.73 Gears

Lift
4" Rough Country
RC shocks
Dropped Pitman Arms
Iron Rock Trackbar
New Brake Lines added length

Extra Stuff
Cooper Radial AST 31x10.5 tires
2001 stock tj wheels
Painted Diff Covers
Class 3 hitch
Custom rear quarters I made to Fix Rust
Custom Rocker Guard Covers Not Welded
Old Style CB Above rear mirror
Seat Covers Red and Black
JVC CD/AUX/AM/FM Radio

Default September COTM submission

Well first off since I feel as if I may have a shot at this for once I decided to give it a go.

This jeep has been a work in progress for the last four years of my ownership of it (it was completely stock), and my only daily driver/family vehicle which totes my family of four around for everything needed, and somehow is still used to go out and have a good time.

I consider it to be a well rounded and very capable build as of today, lots of my time has gone into the researching and picking of the parts as much as installing them.

As a note my picture collection of the current setup is pretty slim so I just went with the best of what I have.

Basic Specifications:
1999
4.0 I6
aw4 transmission
231 transfer case
dana 30 front axle 3.55 ratio
chrysler 8.25 rear axle 3.55 ratio

Suspension/Steering:

Mixed 3" lift consisting of
Rustys 3" standard coils
Old man emu medium duty leaf packs with OME add a leaf
Iron rock offroad double shear trackbar
Ironman 4x4 fab adjustable short LCA's
Rubicon express twin tube shocks
Seriousoffroad 1ton steering

Rims/tires:

Black cragar soft 8's with 31" treadwright guard dogs

Body mods/Armor:

Trimmed front fenders, cut and fold rears, Tj flares
JCR stage II sliders
L&L fabrication front and rear bumpers with prerunner tube and hitch
Window vents
EMT conduit roof rack

Intake/exhaust:

Intake kit with cone filter
63mm bored throttle body
784 injectors
all 2.5" exhaust including tailpipe
Flowmaster super 44 muffler


Misc Mods:

Ironman 4x4 motor mounts
JCR steering box spacer
Autopal e-code headlight casings w/Hids
Extra set of driving lights on the bumper
"fitchbox" style ceiling mount toggle switch box
sony explod stereo
Boss 6.5" speakers all around
KFXhellraiser custom 10" sub box with kicker comp subwoofer
Crunch groundpounder 600w amp
Diamond plate fuel door cover
Well placed blue paint lol.

I agree. I'm like to see good quality wheeling pictures. After all, you'll have to look at it all month long on the Calender.

+1 vote for empty pockets

Name it "The Unknown"

Just to note... all the description of audio equipment made me shy away from others. Subs and amps with a stock tie rod? C'mon! Lol

Good rigs guys.
