the title says it. my fiances not a big fan about me spending money on all this, but i love hobbies and my bonuses are what pay for it. it start: ive got an 89 2door aw4/231 combo. i picked it up for $370 bucks. needed some work to get it running right and im about there. so im focusing on the rest of the build now. it needs some floors. its red. the paint is faded. but overall it is in decent shape for the price haha.
heres the first part, and I think ive decided on the lift i want.
so ive been searching around all over the place for a lift and wheels/tires. am i going with 33"s right now or just 31's or and i going with 3" of lift or 4.5". all the combos in between. sooooo, for the beginning, im going with a simple setup from rustys offroad.
well, one of two setups haha. depends on this months bonus. either the bigger of the two: http://rustysoffroad.com/mm5/mercha...duct_Code=RK-405SPC-XJ&Category_Code=WHEELS10
or the smaller: http://rustysoffroad.com/mm5/mercha...duct_Code=RK-405SPC-XJ&Category_Code=WHEELS10
ill be choosing the mtz's for the tires also. this is really a decent price for everything and makes it easy. more than likely ill go down the latter and add a lockrite locker for $300. that should get me around the trails i do just fine i believe, especially the locker helping out. ill then have some money left over for bumpers and/or armor. i want a real simple setup bumper wise, so im looking for something not tube style and with tow points or hitches at both ends. we'll see what i find for that.
ill continuously update this thing with new ideas or plans for it and ill update in a little bit(after i finish cooking dinner) on all my plans for it. feel free to chime in on what i have planned so far, and whatever else i decide to do. ill update with pics in a bit too :clap:
