Sweet man. I used to have the same Wrangler, mine was a 2000.

This one is an 01 with an 06 engine. It's a project vehicle for my son who turns 16 in 2 years.

Geez, lucky him. :)

yeah. he's a good kid even though he doesn't like surfing.

This is phase 2. Phase 3 is going to be a winch and Corbeau racing seats.

Phase 1 was a sweet Alpine sound system and a Banks stainless catback.

I had an Alpine system except the head was Pioneer Premier. That's some gift!

just curious, whats the point of a lift? kind of a waste of money. just curious

[aka pumpmaster]

ground clearance if you offroad which we do quite a bit. I really wanted a highline kit that lets you run 35 inch tires with no lift but they are big bucks. My next Jeep will have that.

NICE ! Body lift or Susp lift ? Sometimes susp lifts screw up drive shaft angles causing U-Joint failure always at the wrong time. I love wranglers - the wheel base is real short though and can wear you out on a long trip. I'm lookin for a 4dr (longer wheel base) when I get some money together. Awesome Ride !!!!!!!

Suspension lift. Jeeps are really touchy with lifts and most like will cause drive train vibes so you either need to do a motor mount lift of a transfer case drop. I did the TC drop since I'm getting a tummy tuck and will need a slip yoke eliminator for that. The SYE is the best way to go to align everything so once in place, that will fix everything.

The only thing I don't like about the 4dr JKs is the lack of the 4.0 engine.

I'd be stoked if my dad gave me that...

Can you PM me that location in TF?

[aka pumpmaster]

was that a jeep?

Jeeps always look nice lifted . You should get a the Long Arm kit when you plan to run 35 inch tired. It give better articulation. I had a 95 Dodge Ram 1500. with 3 inches of body and 8 inches of suspension lift . I got the Super Lift kit with the long trailing arm for the front. That thing flexed nice even on 38x 13.5 Irocks on it

[wbsurfer]

i gotta say jeeps look nice lifted. but to the guy who posted the video i can do that in my truck.

[aka pumpmaster]

When I get my new jeep I'm getting a 6 inch LA kit. I did get sway bar disconnects for this one and am surprised how much articulation I get. Since this one is going to my son, I wanted to keep cost down and with 35s you have to re-gear.

The only downside is that the new tires killed my power steering gearbox so I have to throw a new one (from a Durango) in it tonight.
