  • 1997 TJ project

    The time has come where i need to get rid of my Tj.
    I am close to having it back on the road, but im not sure if i should sell it as a whole or part it out.

    The Jeep:
    1997 Jeep Wrnagler 4.0L 5 speed ~124K miles (runs great)
    waggy d44 front alloy usa como shafts 4:56 detroit
    tj 44 rear warn full float kit cromo shafts 4:56 detroit
    high clearance brackets on both axles, truss on rear
    curry anti-rock front sway bar (made a big difference)
    36" iroks ~ 70% tread
    clayton long arm 4-link kit
    clayton front track bar and bracket
    waggy steering, set up over the knuckle
    clayton skid plate / cross member
    poison spider rocker guards (with a step welded on)
    gas tank in the back, fits nice with the tool chest i have back there
    genright rear 4 link brackets used to stretch the wheelbase ~6"
    tons of spare parts

    The bad:
    the frame rotted out on me a few years ago so i grafted in a good frame from the driver seats back. and the frame was modified to move the spring buckets back to accommodate the wheelbase stretch. Because of these reasons i would say this is more of a offroad oriented jeep (obviously) and not a daily driver.

    It was a great jeep and i had all intentions to fix it and get back wheeling but other hobbies and interests have gotten in the way. not sure if i should try and finish it up or sell as-is / parts.

    what needs to be finish:
    weld in rear 4-link brackets, coil retainers and rear shock brace
    new rear brake line
    get rear drive shaft lengthened
    other small BS as it has been sitting for a few years

    as she sits:


    what it did look like:

                Dana, I would finish it and then sell it or trade it complete.

                            Andy came over last night and helped me out.

                            got the rear axle trued up, brackets welded in and control arms in.

                            this weekend im gonna fix the rear brake line and then she will be mobile (front wheel drive). then its getting a new rear drive shaft and messin around with rear shock mounts.

                            so if anyone has any interest in this jeep complete let me know. the price will go up a little the more work i do to it.

                            I will take trades for stock / slightly modified cj's, yj's or tj's. i just want a driver
