My daily driver, soon to be dedicated crawler

[ShawTheTJ]

Here is my 1999 Jeep TJ SE. I bought it about 4 months ago from the first owner, with about 80,000 miles on it. The jeep is in amazing condition and I toyed with the idea of taking it easy on it, but it was already modded out so I decided to use it for what it was made for. I've already had it pushed to its absolute limits in all kinds of terrain and I am super impressed with its capabilities. I just installed an ARB airlocker to make it even more capable. Future plans include a long arm (or possible 4 link conversion), a 4.0 swap, and dana 44 axle swap. Tell me what you think!

Welcome!

I think you should avoid the long arm kits. There is a ton of good suspension info on this site. And swap in a V8 instead of a 4.0L when you do!

And the Dana 44 is a great idea.

Oh, and we all like pictures so add more. We like the pretty colors, or broken parts. Your choice.

The V8 idea is enticing, however I already have a built 4.0 on a stand ready to go in. Plus there's something authentic about that straight six sound!

Ah, makes sense.
