while i can dream big with the rest of them, i'm trying to think "pratical" with my ride.

current plans:

242 swap
repace my d30/d44a axles (lockers, 4.56 gears, etc)
run 4" lift and 32" tires
elec fan swap (clutch is currently red-neck-rigged)
bumpers, armor and skids
and a few other odds and ends
power steering pump
snokel/air-intake
ingition
i'm a man on a budget being as i am paying my way through grad school and this is my daily-driver.

yes... i did take it through the puddle a time or two... but it got deep after some rubi's on 35's dug it up and then it rained

shameless brigde shot

this hill had a habit of demonstraighting my poor departure angle (see next pic)

some day i'll grow up and get a real bumper

little pebble garden that was a problem for some... but with a 5.2 and 31's, i FLEW through it

'nother small pebble section and shameless poser shot
http://www.shatteredlimits.com/grand/grand_campjeep7.JPG

same hill from before, only this time demonstraighting my poor approach angle - i dented up the lower 1/2 of my brush guard real bad (20* bend and a nice dent)

i have MANY other pics... most of them poser shots since i am rarely out with people with either a) good camera skills or b) i trust enough to drive mine over anything picture worthy... i'll sift them and upload some other more worthy ones.

more pics:

here is what i started with... ink wasn't even dry on the title and i had it out on the trail. notice the aftermarket rims - with the WRONG backspacing. yeah... it was bad... then got worse when i slapped on the 31s... couldn't turn worth a damn. then i got the 15x8 tj rims and all was better.

Welcome to MC, PA Muddy ZJ! Nice rig, looks like some scenic places to wheel, too.
it's fairly "green" in PA where i wheel. those shots in the pocono's were some fun times. i hope to make it out west next year and do some wheelings once my yet-un-named-project is done :smt023
