Another TJ on 37s thread

I grew up in the 80`s man. To make a motor really really do 400 hp on the street! That took money man. Period. If you were a TEN second guy, legit, you were the shit. PERIOD! I dont live nor my son near anything remotly OFFROAD. THIS is a concrete city now. And filled with latinos , so whitey,,,we are all moving out. Missippi is our new found frontier. But anyway, Im not buying an ATLAS, NOT DOING AN LS, NOT DOING A HEMI, and Im not spending 8g per entire axle. Aint happening to ride down the street! Period. Ive taken note on alot of things. Thank you all. OH, and by the way,,,,,Ive got some much light going to be mounted on this thing that it should, should be seen from SPACE!
Seriousley, I dont want my son in danger, so Ive researched beyond beliefe and yes axles, brakes and all I dig and took note. Thanks. Bitch should be in SEMA lol. Which im not a fan of. Ill have 38k in this thing when done. Not included when I bought the bitch new. Labor came free
The 4.0 is good for 800+ HP if you got the money and skills...

Heck you can buy a 400 HP bolt-in supercharged stroker for probably around $11k...

Prob is everyone has to build the foam. Now its expense. At a high expense lol

EDIT: plus i like my seats with the pull cord. That shit is cool to et stuff out he back and get in. Ive actually done it once. No lie, rode in the back of the 99 not the 97 though. We pealaid that fucker right off the lot. 6 cyl sport I ordered. Would Smoke a CJ all day long on stock tires boy!
 
I read through this thread and everyone is telling you about off road stuff and min lift for the 37s no one is talking about shocks. If you really want some bling skip the metal cloak shocks and get some 2 tube bypasses for not much more money.

Since it won’t leave the pavement you should get the measurements of your shock mounts and set the thing up with as much up travel as possible on some tuned shocks so your son can show off and pop curbs at full speed.
 
No need for shocks when you can get airbags! Drop that bitch with the flip of a switch.

Fox with resevior is going on. Still battling this rear camera for the dd. License plate relocator/spare tire delete. Bought the plate off amazon and yanked the third brake light. License plate light to be rewired to tap into running lights as factory 3rd is delted. Only issue is either hole saw behind delete plate through tailgate or unibit access hole for original 3rd brake light harness. Im choosing the latter. Camera wont line up dead center but looks and function still there. And Im not willing to drop the tank and drill through poison spider bumper/frame cover just to get dead center.
