Zips 2.0 My 98 build

Ok so I have a question for you all.
With the abs if I just pull the lines and the fuze will I have any issues other than the light?

cut and folded
 
I just got a job finally
Working in an auto shop doing bitch work but it beats my current situation


Some times you just have to let shit fly



Dat lean.
 
Story time,
I decided to take my girl My bro and his girl wheeling
It went fine until I got to the rock ledge that had been covered in mud, so I tried the usual just bump it.

Instead of hopping up it slid me off to the side so I readjusted and tried it again

doing this in the process


Yes that is a bent tie rod and I bent the actual rod end.
I know Im a retard for wheeling with the stock one.

So we fixed that up and here is a pic of us pulling it out.
I had all 4 33s smoking like mofos I am unlocked.





The rock rocks now have a decent rubber coating


Thats the ledge it was alot easier in the dryer morning. It was raining while we were wheeling so it was just bad.


poser shot




Hatch love


Door love


Rocker love


Out of the woods.


Lesson learned
Never take girls wheeling in the rain.

This was my emergency fix for my oil pressure sensor literally splitting in half. I thought I popped the motor. 0 oil pressure and a huge cloud of smoke that was great!

threw a gauge on it
I am actually getting 30-80 psi oil pressure so I'm not complaining at all.

Getting swampers and welding the rear soon
 
Got some swampers

That one is the worst the others are okish. I bought them for the rims, all I can say is holy ****ing road noise.

Also I have welded the rear axle and am digging it
 
Question for you guys
Say I have $500 to spend on my rig,
Do I
Do a ax15 swap and a zj steering setup?
Better tires?
Control arms and hiem or one ton steering?
Or some better firm valved shocks and shock hoops in the rear? An then steering?
I'm leaning towards the ax15 swap

My aw4 is starting to get bitchy it needs a torque converter and seal
 
yj brake lines (15 each at parts store)
zj gas tank skid (junkyard $20)
v8 zj steering (junkyard $25)
bumpstop
5150s
 
Nope my buddy said I couldent climb up that so I had to.

I don't know if I want to go straight to Hiems or do the v8 tie rod?

Or am I over thinking?
 
I need a new drag link so at that point the Hiems are $250 shipped the v8 stuff is $173 new kinda close
 
the v8 tierod you can easily get from a junkyard for $20

I'd spring for better tires those look like poop.
 
This is a plan!

I don't know what tires I want to rock.

Mtzs rock but are expensive
I like the swampers but god dam are they annoyingly loud as shit.
I may be getting some 33x10.5 or 32x11.5 boggers if my coworker is right.
I'm going to imagine road noise will be worse.
Mtrs are nice but they are expensive
Same with km2s.
