Figured I haven't really introduced myself, and I thought Id post my build thread here while im at it.
Hey, My names Karl. Im 19, and here's "reggie"
My dad and I caught the fever after building up my DD which is an 89 2door. He's had it since before I was born. We figured we needed something we could get a little more serious with. We got this guy, a red 97 sport 2wd with a blown something or other on the motor, we knew we wouldn't be using it for the drivetrain so it wasn't an issue. Got him for about 500. Next we needed the guts to get us where we needed to go. So we picked this up for 2800.
Thats a 92 that is equipped with a 4.5" rubicon express lift, dana 44 rear, hp d30 4.56 gears, lockrite lockers in both front and rear, and some decently treaded 33" truxus mtrs. It also had some goodies in the engine bay, optima red top, new dizzy, better injectors and such. As you can see, this thing isnt exactly a looker, and things were really half ass put together. The suspension was in desperate need of being re-torqued, and the front locker was stuck locked. OK, ill try and keep the first post decently short, but ill hopefully have this whole thread up by tonight so bear with me.
