Hello all, NovaTJ here. Formally of Jeeps Unlimited forums (now closed). My present TJ is number ten having owned a CJ, a YJ, two previous TJ's, two XJ's, a JK, a KJ, and an SJ!
Thanks for the nice comments! Short story...bought last April for 3K with a blown Dana 35 (so un-common). I had 3.73 gears in stock from previous builds so rebuilt both the Dana 30 and Dana 35 (had 3.07's). 3" Rusty's kit, 33 KO2's, Outlaw2's were on it as well as the Qtec front bumper. Added Qlympic rear hitch bumper, Qtec top,Smittybilt 10K winch with synthetic, new Radiator and heater core, all brakes, and a through clean-up. But she is not a mall crawler...
In the works: Ford 8.8 rear, high pinion Dana 30, 35's and a Clayton long arm system. But all this will be spread out over the next couple years. Jeep, the true "never ending story"!
