My 98 TJ

[calvynandhobbs]

Since I'm being bombarded with pms about my new ride I figured I better post it in here too so you guys have a place to comment and ask questions rather than fielding them one by one.

1998 TJ with 4.0/5spd
Front D30 w/3.73 gears and Aussie locker
Rear D44 w/3.73 gears, disk brakes and welded (not happy about welded, I'll probably get the carrier/gears changed)
Rubicon Express 4.5" superflex-suspension system with 3.5" springs (heim joints everywhere)
Bilstein shocks, front swaybar disconnects, RE adjustible track bar with heim joint
PSC Steering box
JKS 1.25" body lift with 1" motor lift
SYE with Tom Woods CV shaft
Custom rocker guards
Kilby fuel tank skid
Fabtech rear corner guards with LED taillights
Flat-fendered front
Factory AC converted to OBA
Newer soft top on it and older one for going trail riding
Bikini top still in the box. I haven't pulled it out yet.
Full steel doors with roll up windows
Sitting on 33x12.5x15 BFG MTs and Mickey Thompson wheels

I think this TJ has had 35s on it in the past. The speedo is faster than what I'm going by a small percentage so I think when they originally put the SYE in they put speedo gears in for 35s. The only thing it's really missing is a rear bumper with tow a tow point and a tire carrier. If I can get all of my other stuff sold I should have enough to buy that.

It looks good all cleaned up.  Did you try the Motorcycle mirror yet?

You can't see it in the pic, but it's on the driver's side. I've had it on since Friday and then just took it off this morning when I put the doors back on it for the rain today. It works great and for the little bit that I actually use mirrors I didn't notice it vibrating too much.

in the words of some singer on the oldies station..good good good vibrations, shes giving me excitation...

"some singer"    LMFAO, i am curious how old you are!

[BlacXJeep]

He's 28 and Roger she looks even prettier in the light. Nice rig!

[reptile610]

so do you have a full spare or no?

I do as of this past Thursday. Kirk bought a 35" spare for his rig and I bought his 33 off of him to put on mine.

mk, so you are taking that to mohawk right? and is there any body damage on that at all?

[calvynandhobbs]

Yes, this TJ already has body damage. You can't see it from the pic, but the driver's side looks like its had a soft flop on its side. There are dents all the way along the side of the hood and up onto the windshield frame. My wife thought I shouldn't buy it because of that, but I asked her if it made a difference if the dents were already there or if I put the dents in it. I told her that it will receive some body damage from wheelin, but I would do my best to keep it purdy.

Ya i'm only 28, that's why i have no idea who sang it, and was to lazy to google it.  my parents always listened to the oldies station because growing up christian all other radio stations were too "secular".

Jenn was driving with her friend Erica the other day and this Jeep got behind her. She was looking in the mirror and recognized the driver. Her thoughts were "That's the man who kept me from getting all wet in that water crossing" Also that he had a pretty jeep. So you're noticed out in town too.

That's great and yes she would have gotten wet in your Jeep. I may have had to get pulled, but I didn't get any water inside.
