Ultimate TJ Build Ups and Swaps thread

gtxracer · 05-06-2007, 11:57 AM

Okay, there's always 2 or 3 threads started on how to put 1 tons under a TJ. Then there's threads on how to put a HP44 under a TJ and all the questions that come with that swap. So, I decided to put together this FAQ with links to builds, mods, and important swap information. Feel free to add to it as it's here to help everyone and act as a reference for the crowd going bigger. I've also included a few YJ and JK builds that had some good info in them and the owners built 4 link/3 link systems that are good examples.

That's funny, I had an 83 Toy pickup before my TJ. I guess I just liked that about the Yota forum.

I added the 60 part thread. Good tech!

EDIT: Sorry Kirby, last time I read your thread you had 44s under it. Mah bad!
