My’98 TJ. I got it about a year ago. This is how it looked when I got it.
3.5” Rancho lift. 33s. Roof rack. 2.5l that was rebuilt and bored 0.20 over. 4.10 gears. That’s about it. Everything else is stock. I also bought a rear Dana 44 from the seller. He got it from https://www.highway-truckparts.com. He bought all new brake parts and lines. But didn’t install any of it.
I was happy with . But after the first trail run I realized it was way under geared. And I knew I was going with at least 35s at some point.
So I started researching a lot, and learned a lot. Especially from the folks on this forum.
I was going over the stuff I’ve done so far, and the other stuff I’m getting together, and thought it might be worth a build thread. Maybe I’ll get some help along the way. Maybe others will learn along with me. At the very least it will give me a place to document everything I’m doing. It’s going to take me a while as my budget allows, and I patiently wait for deals. But I think I know whereI’m heading with it.
