Well finally I get to start a YJ build thread, thought it would never happen. :clappy: :clappy: :clappy:
This all started when I decided that my cherokee was not suited for the direction I was going with my wheeling. It would take too much time, effort and money to do it right. I decided to cut my losses and sell my rig while I still could and start investing in a better platform - a YJ. I pulled my axles from the cherokee and stuck in some stockers and sold the rig. A few hours later I had a new wrangler. :cheer:
My old Cherokee:
My new Wrangler:
Plans:
Rear D44:
All the crap the came with the D30 when I pulled it from the cherokee. It needs to be cleaned up and stripped of the front control arm brackets. Also needs new ball joints and unit bearings.
I picked up some decent 35" MT/Rs today from Skrause.

Plans:
- Spring over with waggie springs. I considered streching the wheelbase further by using cherokee leaves in the rear but that opens a whole 'nother can of worms. Possibly a future mod
- Swap in my rear D44 with a detroit and 4.56 gears. I may do a disk brake conversion.
- Swap in my HP D30 from with an Aussie and 4.56 gears
- Tube Fenders
- antiwrap bar for the rear
- Some form of front tube bumper
- Some form of sliders (Don't worry glen they won't stick out far at all :flipoff: )
- Crashfab Cage
