So, after my '90 2.5L AX5 YJ was totaled, and LOADS of looking around, I have FINALLY come up with a replacment!

Got me a '93 with a 4.0L and an AX-15!
Has the K&K CAI kit, and the Pacesetter header, upgraded downpipe that wraps around the front of the oil pan.

Has a overhead sound bar with some integrated stuff, havent looked into it to far, but i might keep it there...

It has a custom home made rear bumper with swingout spare carrier, Im removing this, it sticks out WAY to far!

More in post 2!

AND! Im swapping my 3.5" Lift, shocks, 1 ton steering, and Tcase SYE!

AND THEN, FINALLY, Ill get off my A55 and prep/install the 8.8 that WAS SUPOSED to go into my '90!

Some of it has been repainted due to clearcoat fading, but they painted it with Plastikote, so Ill be re-doing that eventually.

ZERO RUST!

Soft top looks almost new, and it has Bestop seats!

I never left, but I did spend some lurking time in the TJ and general forum sections...

Looks like a great find! Can you give me some specifics on your projector lamps? I'm looking to do something with my lights, they're so dim.

mine were 7x6 and 23.99

Well it sucks that your 4 banger was totaled, but that's a clean replacement. Good thing is you can transplant parts off the '90.

That rear bumper does stick out too far. Looks to be well built tho. You shouldn't have any trouble moving it on C/L.

Congrats! I look forward to following this thread just as I did the last one.
