Good idea. There are many different ways you could go. You should also consider other vehicles if you are not 100% Set on the KJ. There are definately cheaper ways to end up w/ a similar capable vehicle.

Amen to that! This guy I know got a screming deal on a 98 TJ with 39" Iroks, Front Dana 60/Ford 9 hybrid axle, and rear Dana 60 for less than most guys on here have put into their KJ SFA project. And it is one serious trail jeep. :twisted:

There are just so many options to get into its ridiculous. But if you are set on a SFA KJ do it. Its your jeep and no one else's and you can enjoy the results regardless of anyone else. :wink:

So the guy you know that got the 98 TJ, I would guess it is red? :twisted:

I would still rather build my own, that way I know how its been done, what may or may not go wrong and plus have one of a few in the world. Anyone can do a Wrangler/TJ / Rubicon but few have the _____ to do a KJ!

Yes it is red. :wink:

I agree it takes some stones to do a KJ, but there are options out there that I would look at thouroughly first.

well I found a HP D30 for sale for $50, would my DTT that I bought for the front of my KJ work in the HP also? and would it matter if I did 4.10 or 4.56 gears?

Gera ratio is not the issue(carrier break for the D30 is 3.54 to 3.73),it's the fact you will be limited to the stock 27 spline shafts.You will need a different carrier(TT) if you want to run the 30 spline alloy axles,which I would highly recommend for a D30 running 33" or bigger tires.
