My parents were gracious enough to buy a jeep for me to use if I got good grades and didn't get into trouble when I was 16. I drove the jeep for 5 years before getting married and having to buy my own vehicle. The jeep kind of just sat for the next 10 years, rarely getting used and when it did, it was usually me taking it for a joy ride or to get maintenence done. I finally decided to buy it from my parents and use it as a daily because my two young sons loved every trip we would occasionally take in it. It was always an adventure to them even if we were just going to the store. So now I was reunited with my baby, the first car I had driven.
That's how it looked in 2002. Skyjacker 2.5 inch lift, 32 inch BFG ATs, and some random stuff. It was great to be back with it but I am a tinkerer and so things were going to be changing
Tire carrier
Lights and jack
Stuff
Then was some new 33x1250x15 MTRs which really made my little 2.5 4 cylinder 5 speed struggle
So naturally I begged my wife and she let me regear it...
But... All of the 15 year old control arm bushings were shot and seized in so for the price of repairing them I bought a 4 inch rough country lift (which is actually great btw) with all new arms...
But... I didn't want to regear the flimsy Dana 35 rear end
So I had a ford 8.8 swap done with 4.88s and an artec truss kit with limited slip oh and the lift that I ordered was delivered and turned out to be a 6 inch lift and I couldn't afford the time to ship it back so we went with it
So onto post 2 because I really hope this one saves (crappy cell signal)
