Sweet, what factory part will you throw away first? Sport(S) owners usually start with replacing the suspension, then tires followed by final drive gears. Sahara owners are usually the option addicts of the jeep world and stay stock. If you cant get close enough to see the "Sahara" badge, the painted fenders will give it away. |

You could say that. When I built it the first time I had 20k in it. It was SOA on 37" tires, which I ran for a couple years. Changing the transfer case, axles, hubs, and going over to springs and four link set up ran another 7-8k. All in I probably have 27k into it, but if you went and bought a Jeep on a car lot for 27k it wouldn't be half as capable as this rig. Just Empty Every Same rig on leaf springs and 37" tires. https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/67619/Screen_Shot_2018-04-02_at_10-503050.JPG Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By ISED8U:

My Jeep has been sitting with the front axle torn apart for the better part of ten years in my garage. My wife has never seen it run. I’ve been super lazy. I started a project got in over my head and stopped. Out of the blue The last two weeks a buddy and my self have decided it’s time to get off my ass and make her run again. I have been working on the axle and getting her RE assembled. Random pic of the engine and here is a pic of the axle. High steer finished and reassemble in progress. This axle has been completely RE built.

I bought this a couple weeks ago from a family member. It runs and drives, that's about all the good you can say about it. Paid $1,000 but I'm going to guess it's going to cost me another $6000 if I'm frugal.

Nothing extreme here. '85 CJ7, 5.3, 4L60E, twin sitck Dana 300 transfer case, Currie 9" rear, ARB lockers front and rear.I live in CA so I had to make it smog legal (fun). I get about 20 mpg and can run 70 on the freeway all day with a/c on. I sat out to build a Jeep that I can DD, drive to and do the Rubicon, and drive home. I think I succeeded. Sorry for the poser shot. Don't let clean make you think it doesn't get wheeled, I just like my vehicles cleaned.

Which lift did you pick? Not much for real world reviews The lift isn't for the hardcore guys but it's perfect for what little if any "off roading" we'll do... check out JL Wrangler Forums... it's the best for info on the JL for now... Got these mounted today, installing the lift tomorrow... 
Edited to add: I put the lift and wheels and tires on today... not a bad job at all, took about 5ish hours including a mad dash around town looking for new lug nuts since the stock ones wouldn't work... looks way better now...
