I've been in to MUD trucks in the past, WAY before I moved to Texas, but I've never been rock crawling..
Friend had a 1999 TJ for sale CHEAP ($500) been sitting 7 years with a bad starter. He stripped out the Etorx bolts and then let her sit.
Unfortunately, it's a 2.5 Liter 5 speed , but has AC .. Ran when he parked it ... LOL
Thinking of a low budget build just to see if I'll get in to the "Jeep" thing .
Other half of me wants to gut it, throw some 1 ton axles under it and a healthy big block like my old days
From what I can tell, it has some 2" coil spacers...
Would just a set of 31x10.5 15's on the stock rims be a decent starting point of am I wasting my time and will be disappointed in it's capabilities ?
Just roughly pricing stuff.. Looks like a $4500 investment to run some lockers and reliably 35's... Hmmmm Thoughts ?
Thanks !
Doug
