tough call.  33s would look better.  31s will drive better.  :dunno:


even thought about 35s but I originally started this build to be a daily like stock grandpa truck but now it’s gotten out of hand. Probably will settle for 33s currently changing the clutch. Again.

35x1250x15 mastercrafts showed up today also changed the clutch to a 98 xj clutch and new retaining clip for the shift fork. Gotta bolt it back up to the long arm cross member and install the driveshafts and we shall see if that fixes my issue of grinding in every gear. I put the ba10 clutch in cause it looked exactly the same and was brand new but apparently it’s different.

Still having issues with the trans so I pulled it again today and the pilot bearing was sitting crooked I wonder if that’s my issue. I took it out and will be putting a new one in tomorrow. If that doesn’t fix it I’ll be auto swapping it.

Sold my ax15 set up to go auto because I was tired of messing with it. So I picked up this donor xj that runs and drives but has a rod knock from hell. But for 280 bucks I ain’t losing much.

Got the aw4 in just waiting on a new trans mount to come in. When I went to install the trans I broke a bell housing bolt off so that was a fun fix. Also installed an external trans cooler to keep the temps down.

Pretty sure I have a caliper sticking and the top end of my motor is making some noise but imma throw some 1540 rotella in it and hope for the best. 
Also installed new ac lines and evaporator and a external trans cooler. still gotta realign the doors and fenders and find some good headlights. 8D94112C-4B53-4E78-B28E-E8625F56668D.jpeg.c5e55aa99974624cc801153d3a9c1315.jpeg434F0EFA-9A91-47D8-BE4C-C80A05C39537.jpeg.2f21d35496b138f4fdd83773d06433d6.jpeg

Yeah literally blood sweat and tears went into 97 swapping this thing. Still gotta button up a few things and it’ll be ready to try to drive to work everyday

Update she’s still blown up. Made it from sc to jeep invasion for a whole week and back home and something in the motor let go right when I pulled into my yard. Have a new motor ready to drop in just haven’t had the time. Also gotta redo my rear shocks. While it’s been down I bought a 01 xj 3 link long arm kit and been working on that pile and dailying it.
