New Waitlister from Woodville

Unread post by Trailwalker+1 »

Hi All. My current build is a 2005 LJ. Picked it up last fall with a clean frame and body and I’ve been wrenching on it over the winter. Installed 3” Teraflex spring lift complete with all adjustable control arms. Also upgraded to front Currie correctLync steering, Teraflex front adjustable Tracbar, and Currie rear adjustable tracbar. Finally got it all aligned and the pinion angle corrected last weekend to eliminate drive line vibration from the lift. Also upgraded front and rear axles to chromoly with a grizzly locker in back and a Truetrac up front with 4.88 gearing. Currently running on 33x12.5s. Have a spare N231 being upgraded with SYE, wide chain and 6 pinion planetary that will be the next project. Also planning a dual battery and winch and some more armor. The wish list goes on. This is my 4th Jeep build. Last was a 97 that I swapped in a 383 stroker, TH350 and Atlas II. Should have kept that one. Mostly wheel in NH and Maine and on the MA beaches. Hoping to join the club to have some fun off-roading and get to know some other enthusiasts.
