Greetings from New Braintree

Unread post by Elwood Blues »

Hello All, this is not my first post but figured I should introduce myself to those who don't know me.
My Name is Ray,
My Rig use to be a 1998 jeep Tj, but it isnt very jeepish anymore
it has the frame of a 1997 the axles, and transfer case from a 2006 Rubicon, the 5.3 liter V8 engine from a 2002 suburban, and the tranny from a 1989 chevy 3500, right now it is setup on 33" tires with a 4" shortarm in the front, 3.5" Cherokee leaf springs in the back spring over.... and no body on it right now haha but it is coming along slowly
i just got a hold of a high pinnion dana 44 front and a ford 9" rear end so those will make there way into the rig before it drives again along with a long arm in the front so it will drive great :bluesbros:
here is what it looks like now

this is what it looked like the day i blew the motor :music-tool: :angry-cussingblack:
