I've been building my Grand Cherokee for a while, and so far it's been pretty much the norm. I started out with a lift kit, and 33's. I quickly became very irritated with short arms, and set out to rectify the situation. After breaking my dana 35 again, I decided to bite the bullet, and just do it. I cut off all the stock suspension in the rear, and built my own. She currently sits at 8", and the rear is a triangulated 3 link with 14" travel fox air shox.
After building that, my brother and I went on a little wheeling trip to China mens. We didn't even make it to the trail!
We got to Hartsel, and that was it. The idler pulley broke off the block, took out both hoses, and the rad. Needless to say she over heated, and cooked the bearings. So, it was ether replace the V8, or do something a little crazy! I decided that sense I was gonna have everything apart I might as well do it right. I bought an 88 Ford step van, and drove home my new engine! 
Yes, that's rite! A Cummins 4BT! It will be backed up by a TH400, and an np 203/205 combo.
I got started a few days ago pulling every thing off, the drive train is out, the front bumper is off, rock sliders, etc. Im starting today on getting whats left out from under the hood, and making some card board patterns.
Im also building 2 custom axles for her, see my 9" build here!

I'm only using my phone, so maybe someone can fix that for me? I can't do Photobucket from the phone
