Hey everyone! Here’s my current project. I took my daughters 98 Sahara I6-32rh and my 2000 Sport I6-NV3550 and and using them both to do a frame up build for my daughter. It started with my daughter wanting her jeep hot pink, so I decided to wrap it in case she got tired of it we could peel it off, but when I started taking off fender flares and body armor that the previous owner had added I found a ton of rust. The frame was near perfect so I decided to use it as a donor for my 2000 TJ that has a slightly bent frame that previous owner had wrecked , fixed it on his own and sold it to someone else who then sold it to me without disclosing this. Anyway, the body and inside of mine is pretty damn great, so I decided to do the swap. I’m also swapping my NV3550 for her 32rh but that’s a battle for after I get done with all the other stuff. I took the frame down to bare metal and spayed it flat black (the Jeep will ultimately be hot pink with flat black) and I’ve replaced all the control arms, track bars, sway bar links, new bushings for sway bars, and cleaned and painted pretty much everything that’s attached to the frame. Im using the front and rear end from my Jeep since they were in better shape, as well as the gas tank from mine (hers had that problem were you had to fill it up slow). I’m currently rebuilding the 32rh with the help of @hear and I just opened up the Dana 35 a couple of nights ago and have some questions that I will need a bunch of advice on soon. Sorry for the long post, just wanted to give the history of how I got to this point lol - here’s the pictures of the 2 originals and the current build!
