Bought this TJ about a month ago. Already have all new suspension and steering parts. Currectlync steering kit, new drop pitman arm, new steering gear box, front trac bar, new coils, shocks, quick disconnect front sway bar end links, adjustable control arms, rear trac bar, power stop brake kit front and rear, slip yoke eliminator, and new cv driveshaft. Build starts in about a week or so when my buddies garage opens up.

The last few pics are where we are currently in the process. Lots of seized bolts. Waiting on delivery of brand new bolts for the rear control arms.

New update on the upgrades. New to me axle housing that I cleaned up and painted and the most of the rear end back under the jeep. A day or two and I’ll be done.
