My current rig is a 1997 Wrangler Sport 4.0L Automatic and I purchased it used in February 2008 as bone stock. My year was the first year of the TJ body style and the very last Chrysler-only platform. My first mods were a 2.5" budget boost, Skyjacker Hydro7000 Shocks and Steering Stabilizer, Pro Comp 1" Body Spacers, 31" Trexus MT's, ProComp Steel Rims, an Aussie Locker (front) and AGR Super Pump and Steering Box, Skyjacker Transfer Case Bracket, new Best Top Rag Top.
Starting In February of this year, the following modifications were done:
Replaced existing Dana 35 rear axle with a Dana 44 Rear Axle from a 2001 Wrangler with 3.73 gears (original gears were 3.07's)
Yukon 3.73 Front Axle Gears and Yukon Carrier and Conversion Kit
Flowmaster Off Road Diamond Plate Cat Back System
Rough Country 4" Lift Kit & Transfer Case Drop Kit
33" Mickey Thompson MTZ's
2006 16" Rubicon Rims
Rough Country 1.5" Wheel Spacers
Slip Yoke Eliminator (Crown)
3/16" Rocker Guards (courtesy of Bay State Offroad in Middleboro, MA)
Bushwacker Fender Flares
'03 Gas Tank Skid Plate
Future upgrades include upgrading steering linkage with a Currie upgrade, replace front and rear bumpers with a stronger off road product, under carriage armor (steering box, diffs, etc).
