Well, tomorrow I go pick up my 97 TJ. 1500 bucks- bad 4 cylinder,no top. White in color, a/c, 5 spd. I have a guy that owns an engine shop who owes me favor, so I'm gonna call him to find me a 2.5L. Plans for now are cutting the fenders,2" OME springs, my version of the Clayton long-arm supsension,33's or 35's, line the tub,and cherokee disks in the rear. It will be just a play ride for now(gotta try not to brake the stock axles).

Next- I have a 74? 1 ton chevy out at my grandpas farm for the axles, i already have an NP205, and a forged 355ci chevy with Dart heads,big valves and full roller valvetrain. Gonna snag a built 700r4 outta my buddies truck,and stretch it 5 inches rear,4-5 inches front. Gonna do most of it myself. Gonna have my uncle bend the rocker guards and tubing for my grill guard/stinger, make my winch plate- all stuff that will be free(scrap material from his job)

Man, this is great, now I don't have to sell my 01 tahoe to get a jeep! So I have a tow rig for boat and jeep.
