Jumping on the build wagon

[eflores]

Seems like every one is building some thing new.
I built a ZJ over the winter but was too afraid to scratch it. So, that shit had to go. I still have the jeep my last girl friend wrecked with lift and long arms and such so i decided a new body was in order
now before you guys start crying 97 blah blah blah can it i don't care.
Picked up a cleanish 97 4.0 auto 231






plan is 5.5" of lift
TnT long arms
RE leafs
ORA bumpers and sliders
ordered a set of HD Offroad frame stiffeners
picked up a 242 and SYE
have 30/29spl 8.25 with 4.56 gears and locker
plan to do selectable lockers
and 35" MT/R Kevlars

more to come

[Fred]

Satan, hold my tongue. Sure.

It's gonna be a nice rig for sure. And I've had it for going in two years with no issues at all. I think the 97 spook stories are a bunch of boo sheet!
