Questions about recent 2003 TJ auction purchase

Dave52 said:
Ok. I was able to sneak in to that dealer auction in San Valley , CA and take a few more pics. I have to wait for a week for the car to be transported to another lot, but I wanted to see the extent of the damage.

You have quite the project on your hands, my friend. But hey, who doesn't like a challenge now and then, right?

A little update. Got 8 adjustable Savvy control arms, 4.25 combo Zone lift, Zone steering stabilizer, Tom Woods rear driveshaft/Advance Adapters SYE, Currie Currectlync steering system. Got 5 33 12.5 tires and 15/8 rims with standard 3.75 back spacing. Now, for front and rear truck adjustable bars. JKS seems to have 2 versions, 0-3.5 lift and 4-6. If I chose JKS, which one should I go for? Or should I go for Currie, 0-6 lift and 100 bucks more on front? Finally, I'm ordering the welding bracket kits for the front axle. I would wait to buy the gears, untill I Inspect it closely the gearing setup on this.

Am'I missing anything major from suspension components so far?

Just to follow up. Finally it made the journey to Armenia. Front axle was bad and friend of mine was selling his Dana 44 axles from Rubicon for a comfortable price. So, it's coming all together nicely.

Thanks. I have a few months to make it nice.
 
Looking great! You may want to ditch those side steps since they are just bolted to the sheet metal underneath. If you want steps get ones that are bolted to the frame, or a tub rocker guard with integrated steps would be even better.

Great recovery of this TJ! With Dana 44's from a Rubicon I believe you can regear to 5.38 when the time comes.
