When I was 14 I got this jeep from my grandfather. Drove it for two years everyday to work and school. I wanted bigger and better then one thing let to another. Here is how it all happened http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160610/96f79ee59c5f0e4709f5db4dea9cab54.jpg[/IMG

This is the first build I did on this jeep: all factory running gear with lockers and 35s
Then I needed more power so time for a turbo(hints my nickname TURBO LEE)

Also did a new offset Dana 44 rear end at this time
Then clutch when tour and time for a motor swap. Build ford 302 with built c4 and factory Dana 18 transfercase

Finally the front Dana 25 give up so I build a custom with Dana 44

I rode the jeep for a about a year then it was time for better suspension so I 4 linked the rear and put 16 inch air shocks on it

Did great for about 6 more months and the front diff housing broke in half and the I decided to do another rebuild with new suspension and new front end (worlds most expensive Dana 44!!!) .... Stupid on my part lol high pinion swapped and retube day Ryan at heman machine,Reid knuckles! RCV! Spool! Yukon hubs!

I'm leaving out all kinds of stuff so if any questions feel free to ask
The latest project was after blowing the rear end up and replacing it 3 different times I finally think I have the fix. Specs: Dana 44 off set with Yukon locker(junk)!!,custom full float kit I made with RCV axles. Yukon semi float is junk and didn't hold! After two sets of yukons RCV for the save
