here we go jeep stuff take 2



its a 94 with 100k. looks to be in fairly good shape for its age. the floor looks to have been already patched and driver side hinges re-welded on.

keeping it simple and stockish this time. 3.5lift and 33s.

plan is to have it wheelable for Nac-Fest. so Im just going to get it running well, lift it, tires, and any PM that looks like it need badly.


after that skids, regear, lockers, and thats about it.

I have a bunch of stuff already so not counting the gears and lockers I should be into this jeep for less than 1800$ which is a big win!
 
Congrats! You still have your red jeep or did I miss something?

how did you end up all the way over here in the nac forum?

and yes and no. its still in my drive way for the next few days but almost everything of value is sold . and the rest is headed to the scrapyard soon.
 
Looks like a solid starting point. What made you want to build something closer simple and stockish this time around?
 
it didnt make sense to have 25k+ wrapped up in something that gets used 2-3 times a year. and I was getting tired of trailering everywhere and was out of work and needed the money. now I can sell my towrig, pay less insurance, and other stuff. plus the almost 7k I got for my other parts will help me afford to get married.lol

plus with a little skill and Patience I can go 90% of the places I went on 37s with 33s
 
Tons/trailering/etc. is not for everyone.

33s on stock axles is an awesome cheap place to be. You can do a ton of trails in New England on that setup.
 
Primus sucks
 
That Jeep look really similar to one I bought this past winter.

Nice! I've always liked that blue black combination. To all you East Coasters. Make sure you treat the Coasties right. My boy is stationed at Staten Island Coast Guard station. He doesn't get to wheel cause he has no transportation but he's looking.
 
So I thinki have the timing on the motor set right. Now I just need to wait for my new dizzy to come in plop that shit in and turn her over.

Also it looks like the rad is new and the fluid has been changed/flushed recently.
