[FONT="]Long time lurker on here so I figured I would post a little build thread of my MJ that I've been working on slowly since 2011. This is how she sits at the moment. Plenty of stuff left to do which I'll update as I go along.
When I first brought it home.
Almost no rust on it. The entire undercarriage/frame had been undercoated which kept everything pristine. Just the usual on the upper rear bed fender.
So I started with the interior. New carpet pulled the dash for a new heater core, all new sound system and I'm a fan of bench seats so a reupholstered one will work just fine.
Next up on the list was the cooling system. I basically replaced everything and ditched the closed system. Champion 3 row aluminum radiator and dirt bound triple fan system keeps the Jeep nice and cool.
Rear Suspension and axle-
Ford 8.8 Detroit locker 4.88 gears
SOA with stock leaves
Bilstein 5150 shocks
Spidertrax spacers to even up the axle width
Solid diff cover
Front Suspension-
Rubicon Express long arms
Clayton crossmember
Rock Krawler track bar
4.5" PORC coils 1 3/4" spacer
bilstein 5150's
RE brake lines
RE sway bar relocation brackets
JKS quick discos
Solid Diff cover
