Hi guys I’m new but figured I’d start a build thread since it seems never ending now. I bought my 2000 TJ about 2 months ago. Rebuilt title but very clean. It had a 3.5” RC lift on it and 35’s, winch, bumpers, of course a light bar but no upgrades to the drivetrain.
Turns out my supervisor owned the Jeep 2 owners ago and she named it pearl so it stays I guess.
I didn’t like the way the RC lift rode so that was the first change I wanted to make. I searched and searched for a lift kit and decided to piece together a lift kit instead. I bought the 4” rock jock coils springs, fox 2.0 4-6” lift shocks, core 4x4 tier 4 adjustable control arms, Currie correctlync steering which needed the stock put an arm instead of the drop pitman arm from the RC lift, rockjock antirock sway bar up front, and removed the rear sway bar.
it did ok with these upgrades but when I was testing the flex the tears caught the body and the front caught the plastic on the fenders.
so the next mod came with TNT hiline fenders, which I am super happy with! As well as a Comp cut in the rear with the intention of stretching it. I also had to take off the step bars in preparation of its maiden voyage to an Offroad park.
