My YJ build up

[4xjunkie]

Well I guess it is time to start my buildup thread.

What I have is a '89 YJ hard top.

Well here is what it has now.

Chev V8 TPI
Dodge NV4500
Atlas II 4.3
D60 rear with dics brakes, Detroit, narrowed
D44 front w/ Lockrite ( for now ).
4.11 gears

Now this is something I bought as a project from someone who couldn't finish it. So I got some work cut out for me, since I have to redo a few things.

All the spring mounts need to be redone, engine and trans mounts need redone.

Well here are a few pics of what I have now.

My next step is to remove the body, so I can get in there and redo all the spring mounts and trans/engine mounts.

Well it will be lowered some, I don't like it sitting to high. The way they had it all mounted it gave it extra lift, I will be changing that.

As far as the wheel base, the front axle has been moved forward a couple of inches, and I think I will keep that. But other then that I think the wheel base will stay the same.
