I Bought a dash cluster from DaveB here on RME. cheaper then the pick yards. he was trying to get his basement cleaned out

It STILL needs cleaning. I have some windows if you need one.

Do you have a power steering pump? I will try to help you get some more out of your basement the best I can
Thanks Dave!

Coming along great, love how cheap this is turning out to be while still being a solid build for a DD.

Let me check for sure but I think I have a pump but the return line plastic fitting is busted off. If you have a spare reservoir it could be swapped on.

I found a set of (4) 31's with a little bit of tread life and TJ 16" moab rims all mounted and balanced. 175.00$

 

[93YJ]

cleaned them up put them on. turned around and sold the other jeep tires and rims. not bad, but soon i will upgrade to 33's. I also had a surco roof rack from my YJ that i wasnt using so I put that on my project for extra luggage space.

What are you into this thing so far? Under $1000? Awesome build

 

[Samersen]

This is awesome! Have you put on the new 33's?

i will have to double check, but when it was all put back together and ready for tax licensing i was into it 300$ to 500$. i was using everything from pocket change to the gas still in the white cherokees fuel tank in figuring out how much I saved. I will post up the exact numbers next week. for sure I got a little neurotic about it.

Thanks man! LOL I even took your idea of XJ flares and after trimming I put them on mine

I found a cheap spare tire and hand it mounted on my spare rim. I also had a surco luggage roof rack that I hadn't used in years from my YJ. at one point I had thought about selling it.

 

[93YJ]

and then there was allot of little things. speakers where all blown from the red one. No worries I just moved the boston aucoustic speakers over

 

[93YJ]

a newer suspension in the front

trac bar, control arms and springs where all taken from the white XJ and transplanted onto the new one.

 

[93YJ]

started putting the front clip back on. getting close to making road worthy

 

[93YJ]

Started him up and back it out of the garage for the first time. still a bit of work to do though. the paint on the hood was chipping bad! and the driver side back door was so oxidized it didnt even look like it belonged color wise on the jeep. I found a manual door on ksl for 10$ so I took the guts of the electrical bad door, and swapped tj
hem over to the manual door that I bought. and then for the hood, I found a beautiful painted door at tear a part auto yard. Again i didnt want to paint anything yet. maybe someday but not for how cheep I wanted to keep this.

I also found a killer deal on this Warn bull bar bumper. I want to say it was 400$
