I love those rims. When I switch to 5x5.5 I’ve planning to swap the trail readys for KMC

I've made a little progress with Trail_Willys. Big milestone was I have learned to setup differentials. Both front and rear ring and pinions were ruined, and I thought it would be a great time to learn a new skill. The front axle is completely rebuilt and back under the jeep.

The rear axle got the same treatment...
Full rebuild, new carrier, locker, ring and pinion, bearings, seals, brakes... everything. I even saved the gear ratio tag 39/8.. 4.875 (4:88)

Bear with me, the GPW is almost done and I'll get back to the TJ soon. in the mean time...

All very clean, especially the disc brake conversion. I had one these back in the 70's. Getting it to stop in traffic with the tiny drum brakes and 31" tires was a white knuckled adventure. I always thought a Toyota 4cyl EFI set up would be ideal for an old flat fender. Maybe when I retire and have a little more time....
OP
Thank you!
I've actually had my eye on the Jeep 4cyl... Plenty of power for a 2k lb Jeep... Or a Kubota diesel swap, or a VW TDI swap. Either way, I want to keep the T-84 and D-18. Disc brakes were a must. I don't want to die for nostalgia.

Cool. Just needs a lawn chair and maybe a radiator and time to wheel it
A lawn chair is a upgrade from the factory seats. I've actually been thinking about the seats from the TJ, since I want to install some custom prp daily driver seats on the krawler.
I have the radiator but it didn't make the photo.... Time is the real problem
