I am new to the forum and interweb stuff, but a long time offroader. My user name is GoJoe, and my real name is Joe. I have a couple of Jeeps now and I'm looking to modify the older one. That Jeep being a 1995 YJ. It has a set of custom front fenders, a CJ hood, grill, and dash. The rear is custom narrowed with custom fenders. I'm running 39.5 - 16.5 X 17 Pitbull Rockers on Hummer wheels with no lift. It has the 4L and 5 speed in it with a Dana 300 twin stick conversion. For axles I went with the D60's with full lockers and 4:10 gears.
My next upgrade is two fold; The first part is to remove the 6 banger and wiring. I have a 350 Chevy and a Turbo 350 tranny. I have to rebuild the tranny and change the output shaft so I use the D300. In addition, I would really like to keep the throttlebody. I've seen what the truck avenger carb is like and that is not what I want to go through. So gauges, sender units, and computer will be really fun... Stay tuned...
Part two is where I need help. I want to move the front axle forward almost 12". I know how to make the steering work and I'm adding Hydro assist. My issue is I want to 4 link the front and NOT use a track bar. Coilovers for sure, with bumpstops and limit straps. And lastly, to figure out how to run a swaybar. So if anyone has a 4 link on a YJ, has done it, or knows someone that has, hit me up. All the help I can get will be greatly appreciated. And when it's done, I'd like to share a great offroad park with everyone. Southern Missouri Off Road Ranch. SMORR! Trail levels for every offroader! Great camping, good people, showers with extra hot water, and a great kitchen too. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
If you want to see my junk, hit me up on facebook at Joe Straughan. Look for the Catapillar compact track and the red/white/black dumptruck. Hope to hear from you-all soon. Thanks for reading all this...
