Welcome Jeepcrazy! Let's see a couple of pics of the Jeep.

Hey so I got a ton of questions on here but here's a pic

From what I know it's a 1990 has somewhere between a 2-3 in lift spacers n coils with rancho shocks needs discos adj track bars ect.. 33 inch bfg km"s it needs a little cutting of the pinch seam or I might go with taller lift as I can't imagine there's much room flex..no idea of axles/gears front looks Like a Dana 30

Sounds little pricey for me but I'm interested if can swing it..or gonna throw a lunch box in it and just carry so spare shafts, not sure if I would wanna re-gear seems have plenty power movin 33"s tho no idea of gears in it it's an auto so 3:55"s ?
Arb be sweet tho cause it'll fill up 33"s pretty quick..I do have some cash in hand tho..

the arb is a selectable locking differential, not an air compressor, although you will need onboard air to operate it.

btw, i run 4.88's with 33's & automatic on my green xj.

Yup I know all about arb"s
Had em front n rear on this

..

I'm just not looking to drop much coin into this rig plus the stock axles in this aren't worth putting much if any money into.. when I could gear some junk yard axles if I go that route but depending on how stout the motor is will dictate if I mod it or just enjoy what she got left in her and build another wrangler like a yj cj ect..

On second thought I think we met out front of pj"s muffler..does your rig have a Cadillac emblem on the hood?
