Fellow Jeepers! This will be my new build thread for my:
1999 Jeep Wrangler Sahara
4.0L | 6 Cylinder | 5-Speed
4" RC Lift
2" BL
33x12.50R15 Wrangler MT/R Kevlar's
Dana 30 / Dana 35 (Stock/Stock)
After having to change multiple items on this Jeep, I kept finding thing after thing requiring service, maintenance or overall swapping out. This, of course, has led to wanting "more" for no real good reason other than, "I can." The overall design is going to be low, wide and cram 37's on her. I want good center of gravity, and with the custom long CA's I'm going to be building I'll have somewhat of a "better" ride. I already purchased a Ford 8.8 (31 Spline) rear axle, and a Dana 44 front housing. I'd really like to build most of what I do to this Jeep, being that I have the shop space and the tools. I'd appreciate any and all input / suggestions while this progresses. Like everything in life, this comes second from my family/career and is sped up and slowed down via financial stability. lol
My whole idea of the "prime Jeep" is something you can be tooling down the road in, and throw it off road, go where you want (within the vehicles limits) and pop back on the road and head home. Here in the mid-west we get some crazy winters so I want something that will travel well through a lot of snow and if I end up on the side of the road or in a field I can get out. When it is, "where I want it," I do want to plan a trip to Colorado.
Here is where she sits now:
