Hello, I'm Gstang, a newbie to the whole 4x4 thing in general from Ohio.
My daily driver is a 96 2dr with a 4inch roughcountry lift and sets on 33's. Nothing real special about it, but have big plans for it including an upgrade to a straight 6 engine, exo skeleton, custom bumpers, paint and rewiring a cb antenna to configure to the normal radio.
Credit needs to go to my younger brother who is actually the one who got me into this. You see, I'm more of a Mustang man myself. (go on, I'm expecting the friendly banter ) but winter time and mustangs go together like salt and slugs. His jeep is a bone stock 87 Pioneer, which he paid 750 for and has about 200 in to get it purring like a kitten.

 

I'm stuck in Ohio too. Nice jeep!

 

good looking 2dr!

 

Thanks! I would have rather just started from scratch but my last daily driver decided to stop working on me and I was in a rush to look for a new one. Not to mention the tires and lift kit are almost brand new.

 

Dude that's a nice Jeep, I love me some blacked out jeeps. My buddy who is stationed in VA is originally from Ohio...says it's nice out there. Welcome to the new addiction bro!

 

Its actually dark blue, but after I clean up some rust spots she'll be getting a nice matte black and red paint job.
And thanks lol

What part? I'm located between Dayton and Cincinnati

 

Welcome to the forum. I have always had a 4wd of sorts, but for a long time me and my 1987 stang tore up the dragstrip.

 

Hey! lol Welcome to the site! I have an 89 GT and I know what you mean about winters. I actually was into them first but now am gonna sell it to fund the XJ! You going swap it to 4wd?


This is what she did look like.



Its been parked for awhile.No paint on hood not and different wheels.

 

It came with 4wd. (you actually posted in my help needed thread lol)
And that's almost exactly what I want I want to build! How is the floorpans and shock towers in it?
