I like the front bumper. Looks like a great vehicle for a starter build. Did you have a list of some mods you have planned for it? If not, what did you have in mind?

Wait did I miss something?!

It looks done.

welcome to the TJ world my friend

all that stuff is on my list already, gonna be a while though it's already costing me a pretty penny just to get it runnin properly & so it will pass Ma. state inspection :evil:

YES JJ it does have some left front damage but it's realy only the flare, both front fenders are getting reworked a bit till I can chng. them

haha nice bro. ya i am slowly piecing my rubi together also. Only things i need to do are chromoly axles shafts front and rear with the 30/30 upgrade for fronts, tube fenders front and rear with rear strkyers corners from rokmen, new 4.88 gear sets front and rear, control arm skids front and rear, rock lights, back up lights, spot lights, winch, new meats 35's, and possibly either a v-8 swap, 4.0 stroker, or a diesel option.

This is probably a taboo question, but how much did that set you back?

JeepBumm68 · **Posted:** Mon Feb 23, 2009 10:21 am

whos setup?

raceinfan · **Posted:** Mon Feb 23, 2009 6:08 pm

don't know who your refering too but mine hasn't started yet

so far I've spent $2,500 just to get it running & driving up to par more so the driving part, alot of joints & bushing's were pretty bad

right now I'm waiting for the front drive shaft to come back from rebuild & rear arm bushings from skyjacker ( I'll run this lift for probably a year or so ) seeins I bought it with thier lift already in

I have however, bought Mickey Thompson claws ( 4 ) seeins it wouldn't pass inspection with what was on there ( got plenty of time for the IROK's)

and I just orderd MOST of my skid plates today & rocker guards with rails

hopefuly it'll be out of my buddy's shop end of this week, he has worked his tail off on this thing giving it a thorough examination which is why it's cost so much ( in my eye's) I've drivin it all of 2 times since it arrived but it's a work in progress

raceinfan · **Posted:** Wed Mar 04, 2009 6:26 pm

well I finaly got it home & actualy wheeled it sunday, HOLY COW what a differance between the KJ & TJ :shock:

anyways still has some issues to be addressed ( Tranny being one ) but it is driveable for now...the saga continues, at this rate my build up won't begin to happen for 2 yrs

the setup i am running right now is about 8k haahah
