I wasn’t planning on doing a build thread but it might be good to consolidate the progression of my Jeep.
I picked it up October 2020 with a 4” rough country long arm, 1” body lift, tummy tuck, winch and light bar. Smittybilt armor and bumpers. 35” KM2s on Mickey Thompson Classic III wheels.
It’s a 4.0, 5 speed with a Dana 44 rear end. It definitely needed new gears, but it was a good starting point.
After my first trip wheeling to Gulches in South Carolina, it went to the shop for gears and lockers. I went with 4.88 gears, Detroit rear locker and Spartan front lunchbox locker. While it was in the shop I also replaced the shocks with Fox 2.0 shocks and dropped down to a 3” Teraflex spring. I also installed a tuffy console during this time as the stock console lid was broken off when I bought the Jeep.
I can’t find any pictures of when I first bought the Jeep, but this was what it looked like for a while.
