I've been waiting to start winding up my Jeep until I posted up here. It's an '84 CJ7 that I just finished swapping out the axles for D44's with lockers front/rear and 4.56 gears. Rubicon express yj front springs, skyjacker hydro shocks, XD9000i, DIY rear bumper/tire carrier/side steps. It had a 350 in it when I bought it and a th400 transmission and a fiberglass body. There are some electrical gremlins but I'm going to wait until next winter for the wiring harness replacement. MTR kevlar 35" tires, 2" wheel spacers, Currie tie rod linkage with goforit offroad tie rod flip kit, LED lights around the entire outside. Bushwacker wide flat fender style flares, new seats/seat lap belts, replacement windshield wiper motor, YJ brake booster and chevy 1 ton master cylinder. I'm sure I've forgotten lots of other stuff.
it had a one piece tilting front cap but I had to go to a conventional front end to make room for a winch mount up front. Instead of paying to get a new conventional front end I cut the hood loose and made the fenders/grill stationary and the hood was put on a standard set of hinges
What I started with and the steering had so much play in it that it was unsafe to drive. I have had to dig pretty deep into this Jeep to get it back road worthy. There were just so many things wrong with it and everything has been done in the last 4 months while recovering from back surgery for 3 of those mounts.
