well since i got a few things to do to my new jeep i figured what the hell lets make a project thread about it, so.....


my jeep trans started to slip since i got some water in it, the last time i went trail riding and got in some deep water, well i got pissed off at trans and floor'd it and well the motor went knockin lol, so i went out today and got a really great deal, a guy had a jeep exactly like mine same year and color and everything, it was a roll over with really low miles, he needed 4 trees cut down in his back yard, so i made a deal ill cut the trees for the jeep, well today i cut all 4 trees down cut them up and clean mess up, then i pulled engine and trans out of my donor jeep, my jeep is 4x4 and the donor is 2wd,
so i gotta do a little modification to make the 2wd trans work on my 4wd.

here is some pics of my jeep, it has a 4.5" lift and a set of 31x10.50
242 transfer case and a 42re trans, dana 30 front and dana 35 rear.






here is what i got done today with the donor jeep






tmw im gonna pull my motor and trans out my jeep and convert the 2wd trans to 4wd.

i also have plans of modifing the jeep.

 

Cant wait until your done with it

 

well here is my wish list and my ideas for what im wanting.

these prices are from a website jayvee sent me, im gonna see if i can find cheaper else where

fender flares- $569


Tail light gaurds-50$


Step side rails-$300


Tow Hook and brackets- $125


Fog lights- 80$


10k winch- $780

 

can't wait to see your progression.
because all hcf members never have a finished product
(we strive and continue..forever)

 

i dont think any of us will ever truly finish a car lol

 

Today, i went and got all new stuff for the new motor going in, i figured since the motor is out ans everything is easy to get to why not go ahead and replace it. so tmw i'll start pulling my engine out the jeep and get the new one ready to be put in, ill post pics of my progress tmw.

 

nice signature!

why are the fender flares so expensive?

and to put the winch do you need to get a new front bumper? or do you just drill thru that one.

 

idk why fender flares are so expensive but they are, for the winch i will need to remove my plastic bumper, and im going to have a custom made tube bumper. i looking everywhere and hopefully i can find somebody who has one for sale instead of having to build one.

 

chb, you got a new motor along with your trans?
and good luck finding one.!
I'm trying to find a type r rear lip replica

 

how does a bumper realate to a lip haha..

the fenders are mad expensive but it looks wicked. i cant wait to see it when ur finished. i love lifted jeeps
