97 TJ Heep to Zombie Killing Jeep Build by north50

3 minute(s) of a 286 minute read

So here is what I'm thinking for axles. I don't see ever going over 37" tires and so these would work for future mods with the shafts in them. They are still light (opposed to 9" and D60's) but stout enough for the motor and tires. Pretty good chunk of my build budget so really going back and forth on this and suggestions welcomed.

So work has been crazy and thus haven't had much time to mess with Jeep until this afternoon. Was a greatweek at work with some very nice cars coming through. some of the perks of the week.

so any hoo I started on the Jeep about a week ago and here is my progress up to today.

slow start, got the hood raised :lol:

removed winch/front bumper and got a game plan together.

Today i finally made some real strides, will have the motor out very soon and start cleaning the engine bay and frame rails up.

Still need to tear down the donor motor and reseal check for issues and put back together. Have all the parts (gasket set, water pump, oil pump etc...) waiting to go on. also plan on painting up the block while its out, should look like new when i start putting it back together.
