[QUOTE="NotMatt, post: 763885, member: 15947"] :cheer: At the beginning of this month I purchased, as my friends have affectionately (or not so affectionately) dubbed it... The Cheerleader Jeep, for the total sum of 3500. The specs are, 91 wrangler, 4.0HO, c-clip D35, HP D30, cool swirley wheels with AT tires, and a 1.25" shackle lift. The first order of business was to remove the smittybuilt front bumper, and replace the rotted exhaust with a new flowmaster 2.25" muffler and tailpipe. Here's what I'm starting with: [img]http://www.poseycanyon.com/mjohnston/030706/P1010238.JPG[/img] Here's the axle, wheel and tire (and other misc. parts) donor: the Turtle, version 1.something in all it's busted glory.
