New to the site, Figured I would start here.. I look forward to surfing this forum, and making some friends.

Here is my Jeeps evolution..
When I brought her home. Has the Awsome 4 cylinder in her..

Lift and 32" MudKings and lockers and 456 gears and few other mods

35"SSR's

Then Springover and 38" TSL's and Dana 44's front and rear.

Then she got flipped over backwards and rolled 1 1/2 times with four friends in it.

Insurance totaled her, She only had two crushed fenders and a crushed hood and grill.. Told them I could fix it, but they said no, and made me take some money and my jeep back.:cool:
So, it was a HUGE stinger and a Atlas II and Hydro Asst steering and I cut the rear fenders out and I upgraded to a Dana 60 Rear axle and all that good stuff. Stretched the wheelbase to 101"... Plus 513 gears and a auto trannie

Then I cut the huge stinger off, and upgraded the front 44 with Warn shafts and CTM's and I got some 39.5 Iroks, "Then helped build some tube fenders for it, and some crusher corners for the rear, and then we stretched the front out 3 or 4 inches for a wheelbase of 105" and here she sits now.

She only has a 4 cylinder in her right now, so November 2008, I will be doing some mre upgrades. As of right now, I have got a Dana 60 for the front and a Dana 70 for the rear that will be going under her, Then I will be putting a LS1 in her. I will be going with Coilovers on all 4 corners and 4 linking it front and rear.
I have also just purchased some new beadlocks and 42" TSL's. The wheel base will be taken out to 110" to 112".. That should just about do it..

Post by stinger124 on 01/21/08 at 17:39:41

I may look into it.. We went last year, and it was my first time to go.. Was still about a 5 hour drive. :o
The place was alot of fun, and I bet we will be going back this year at least once.
Right now, I am thinking of going to the Big Meat Run at Disney Oklahoma in March.
My first choice is clayton, I love to night wheel, and its just a fun place to get away. 8-)

I might have gotten a little carried away with this post but I have done a lot to my old Jeep over the years. So here it goes.

Here’s what I started with

Then I built a cage, bumpers, swing out spare tire rack, added a winch, installed a hydro assist steering, changed to spring over with YJ springs, shackle reversal, built new axles with 4.56 gears, Detroit locker and Moser alloy axles front and rear (narrowed Dana 44 front and a narrowed Chrysler 9 ¼ rear) and moved up to 35 “ tires. Oh Ya some orange paint.

Then I built a custom traction bar / skid plate, welded up some bead locks, and moved up to some 38” Creepy Crawlers.

Then I replaced the stock drive train with a TBI 350, 700 R trans and a 3 speed Stak Monster Box. Custom built new cross-member / skid plates. Stretched the wheelbase to 101” by moving the front axle forward 5” and switched to a pair of custom Alcan front springs. Three linked the rear and moved the rear axle back 3” and used 6” over TJ coils. Didn’t like the 3-link after first trip changed it to a triangled 4-link set up. Built a custom fuel tank to fit in stock location but still clear the rear axle. Built tube front and rear fenders. Built a custom console to hold custom trans shifter, new gauges and switches.

Tonight I am going to update my rear drive shaft moving up to a 1350 CV joint and 1350 pinion u-joint.
It never ends.
