[Wiser]

whats the specs on the jeep before u added all the mods?

[YJ-GENRAL]

D30/35 with 3.07 and a lockrite in the rear, 4" SUA RC lift (there when i bought it) 33" procomp MT's on american racing 15x10 aluminum rims. and an SYE kit i installed a year ago, got tom woods driveshafts front and rear

engine: still the same as before
4.2 with motorcraft carb and TFI conversion

other than that its stock

goign to have 4.88 in the axles soon and possibly aussie up front and welded in rear.

[YJ-GENRAL]

oh yeh and all this couldnt have been done without the help of Tyler (team willy's)

had alot of fun and the results are awesome... :D

[Team Willys]

Stock basically, 4" Rubi Lift, SYE, Dana 30 with CAD Delete, Dana 35 with Loc-Rite, 3.07 gears, Tom Woods Driveshafts F/R. 33" Procomp Muds, AR wheels. Huge improvement now... will be locked F/R with 4.88's. And then the 36's and extra ground clearance don't hurt either...

Next Mod: Fuel Injection for the 4.2!!! Then ditching the Puegeot POS trans and upgrading to something better like a 6 speed from a rubicon...

Blake, if I missed something, sorry... Its your jeep, guess I should've let you answer this...

[YJ-GENRAL]

still needs a new rear bumper, a spare tire, and some OD green paint yeh!

[Team Willys]

Mr. Hobart and I can Help with the rear bumper. And while he couldn't do much for the paint, I believe I could...

[MELKORsXJ]

i think your "yj lift" turned out better than the "yj lift" i did this weekend...
of course, i was working on a street queen :)

...anywho, when we goin' to aetna???

Yeah, but that street queen will smoke most sports cars when I get the engine built for it...

[PacificEd]

Wow. That doesn't even look like the same Jeep I saw in March. Lookin' good.

[MELKORsXJ]

looks real good blake!!!
i think you missed a spot on the roll cage though :dunno:

i think you rubbed off on tyler though

[bigalpha]

How'd you paint it? Rattlecan?

[Team Willys]

Say it in Krylon, Baby! lol, did it turn out the correct color? Mine looks good, but it dried lighter than 3 of the 4 wheels. The 4th wheel dried the same color as the body??? Maybe the humidity was different or something? I don't know, nor do I care. It looks good, and thats all that matters.

[shortxjdoug]

im diggin it.... what are your plans for a powerplant when the 4.2 buys the farm?

[YJ-GENRAL]

thanks mr. detail, and i didnt bother on it till i put the front hoop in and paint it all.

How'd you paint it? Rattlecan?

kyrlon $3 a can... total of 10 cans bought... 3 of which are now touch up/backup cans.

im diggin it.... what are your plans for a powerplant when the 4.2 buys the farm?

prolly a 4.0 or tbi 302 (tyler's idea)

[Team Willys]

Not a TBI 302, what are you thinking lol? No to the 4.0 as well. I said a tuned port 305 Chebby motor! Good long stroke, not a ton of HP, but a lot of Bottom end torque and not very expensive.

[shortxjdoug]

throw a tbi chvy 350 in cheap easy and parts everywhere

[derrick94XJ]

goign to have 4.88 in the axles soon and possibly aussie up front and welded in rear.

Possibly aussie on Monday...
