| Name is Ryan, just registered yesterday after I was pointed in the Raiders direction by one of your current members. Here is a few pics of what I did on this budget built trail heep with the help of a few of the Creepers members. I've been a long time member/vendor there.
The gist is we ripped out the old axles, replaced with built waggy d44's 5.38's, lockrite front with alloy everything, spool rear, went SOA with RE 1.5 springs, new boomerangs f/r, beat up 36"iroks on free ghetto painted rims, wire wheeled the frame then primed and painted, ripped out all interior BS, replaced np231 with same t-case with SYE, new DS, etc...all this done in 2 full days work
Here's what it looked like to start...
Here's the start...rip out the old, and in with the new! We spent 2hrs cutting out all the inside leaf mount bolts b/c they were all seized!! It was a MAJOR pain, but it's also a Jeep.
New rear axle is in, tires on, ready for the front...
Day #2 progress...
Just need to mount up the front shocks, weld on traction bar mount, put front wheel spacers on and away we go!
Thanks for looking, and look forward to meeting some of you soon  |

I do, but looking forward to bringing the leaf luv back. I actually miss my old YJ more than the TJ...I'll just be happy to wheel again

Got a great deal on the axles...rear has a spool, front has all alloy shafts and super joints and a lockrite. Bought the steering set up with 1ton ends from the same guy, so I literally bolted up the front and steering after I had some 1/2" leaf spring plates fabbed.
Axles are locked and ready to roll  |
