Front drive shaft rebuilt, Sway bar back in and disconnects. Pinion angle and shock mount set on rear 8.8. Its getting closer.

It looks like a truck again!!!

More progress, Slow but going. It has 4x4 parts now.

So it is tranny swap time. Pulled the junk 2wd ba5 out, cleaned up under cab and undercoated. preped Nv3500 for install. Swapped out clutch, flywheel and pilot bearing. If any one needs 2wd BA5 trans this one is nice. only 69k miles.

My boy's MJ we are building.

Ill start by saying, I'm not good at keeping things updated. However Ill do my best. My son and I were looking for the perfect Jeep to build for his first vehicle. XJ, YJ, CJ, WJ, TJ, just what to build. This little MJ fell into our laps. His grandma had it. How I never knew about it, I'm not sure. Any way. He worked and saved his money to pay his half. The good and the bad, Its a rust free 4.0l 5 speed but its 2wd. So we put together a plan. XJ front HP D30 (4.10) with JCR truss and solid diff cover, Iron man sway bar mounts NV3500 (external slave) and NP231 with a IRO hack and tap, Azzy's design t-case linkage Rear 8.8 from an explorer (4.10) Solid diff cover Barns 4x4 8.8 brackets Rusty's 3 inch lift with 1" front spacer SOA rear, IRO lower control arms 33x12.5r15 Falken Wild peak MT Bushwacker cut out front flares JCR DIY front winch bumper, My hand me down winch. Flip up licence plate mount Hooligan of road front cross member plate. Iron man steering gear box spacer 98 grill swap I bought a parts rig to harvest some parts from (front 4.10 gears, t-case shifter, odds and ends) So the MJ has the front axle installed and front lift working on rear SOA,
