I've had this Cruiser for a few years now and am just now pending some more quality time with it and finally have some pictures to share. This is a JDM import (Japanese Domestic Market), it was legally imported from Japan in 2011, just as it turned 25 years-old which is the EPA/Customs requirement for import. (Stickered up for TCT Magazine, they borrowed it for their magazine debut @ CruiserFest last year) Basic Specs: 1986 BJ74, Auto, RHD, factory PTO, full-float rear axle & removable top. Powered by a 13BT (3.4L) Turbo-diesel. Stock suspension/drive-train. My only projects thus far have been some minor maintenance and cleanup. Overall it is very clean particularly for it's age. It has less than 100k miles on it but it's...

Since my Jeep is about to undergo a major transformation, I decided it might be time to make a thread about it. I'll begin with the background information. I purchased it back in October 2010; it was stone stock... and in need of some TLC. At the time, I already owned a 1997 Wrangler SE: As I explained it to my wife, this purchase was the easy way to simultaneously upgrade to the 4.0L engine, the Dana44 rear axle, and also get fewer miles on the odometer (SE had 94k; the Sport had only 82k). The Sport cost me just $1500 more than I got selling the SE, so I felt I did okay with this swap. My ultimate goal was to put the Sport on 35" tires, but prudence required me to stay close to stock for a while. The Sport's bald tires...

Just liked to introduce myself. I'm Alex, here's my tame 91 XJ Sport. Mostly stock: coil spacers, rear block(yuck) that how I bought it, a few lights, 31 Capital AT's. I've owned it for about a year. I keep to the mild stuff and use it mostly to get to isolated camping spots. The day I got it. Fins and Things last summer

Howdy all. Dave from West Haven. Occasionally on expoUT forum, and after meeting a few of you out at FYOY14, thought I'd join here as well to keep up on runs & events. I have an 06 that I bought new in 07. Mostly as a midsize replacement 4x4 for work & errands. Then found out it wheeled pretty decently, and off on a steady build of upgrades since then. First installed a PRG products advanced coilover kit (radflo coilovers, rear shocks, UCA's, AAL's) for 2.5" lift and a greatly improved ride and wheel travel. Had that for a good 5 years of hard use, whild building and adding full armor, bumpers, etc. Pretty much taxed the suspension out with weight and hard use. Coilovers wore out along with UCA's needing uniballs & heims, so...

Hey all, ZPower here. So long story short, I sold my sweet 96 ZJ to help purchase my all-time favorite Jeep: The TJ Unlimited. I picked up a 2004 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with 101,000 miles on the ticker. It's not a Rubicon, so it has a Dana 30 up front and a Dana 44 out back. I actually preferred the non-Rubicon because I wanted to put Detroit Truetracs in both axles (and I am NOT keeping the factory trash-lock in the rear), plus the people who were selling the Rubicons were on crack when it came to resale value. I am not paying $7,000 more for a different front axle and some air lockers. Plus, I have a fondness for the Dana 30. It's kind of like the underdog of the axle world. Alrighty, down to the nitty gritty stuff! First...

So as some of you know I picked up a 5.9 Grand Cherokee and have been trying to get it ready for the trail. The lift has been placed on it, a 4" Rough Country long arm. I still need to scratch up tires for it and do some touch up work but it's pretty much ready for some use. I really need to scratch up some 32~33's to toss on it.
