hi all! my name is joe i have a 98 tj that has been an ongoing project
ive been using your forum over the years and finally decided to join
background on my jeep
started off as a 98 4 cyl 5speed with zero, but a blown motor i purchased it for $800
at the same time a friend of mine was selling a 98 4.0 5speed with low miles and most of the goodies already on it (winch bumper flat fenders and new ish 33s )but the frame and tub were both beyond repair
so i pulled both motors and wiring harnesses and began my 4.0 engine and trans swap
worked out great and along the way ive been adding more and more
the latest edition was a ford 8.8 with a ford 31 spline poso and custom moser hardened axles.
i installed this with the artec truss kit, and moser hybrid axle housing ends- these ends give you a ford 9in style houseing end (so a c clip eliminator but the right way) and the use of 2005-2010 ford mustang brakes with the emergency brake built into the calipers.
up next is going to be a high pinion 30 build 4:88 gears and maybe a few more things
Currently on 35in MTRs on Pro comp rims
