Wrangler Project

[XJ4x4]

I plan to start a trail rig project someday and figured a wrangler would be a good one to start with since I can get one out of the tn trader for almost nothing.

Tires will be either 33x12.5 Swampers, 35x14 Boggers, or 36x13.5 Iroks.
I dont know what brand of lift I'll get but it will be 4 or 6".

Thats it for now because I'd like to see some opnions. I'd appreciate any ideas on what to add like cages, lockers, winch, lift and so on since this will be a to/from trail rig only.

YJ or TJ ?

Given he says "almost nothing" I guess he means a YJ.

My build is something like this:

- Jeep 242 (4.0) with EFI ....}
- AW4 4 speed auto............} I have a 1989 XJ carcass
- NV242 AWD t-case...........}
- Spring over (combo packs of YJ and FSJ leafs)
- 35" tires
- HP D44 front axle
- D44 rear axle w/ FF
- 10" stretched wheel base
- 5" stretched rear over hang
- XJ rear bench seat (three across instead of normal SWB Jeep two across)
