  • Project HMD (hand me down)

    Well as some of you may or may not know I picked up a new jeep the other weekend. I bought it from this older fellow from New Jersey who was retiring to florida. He bought a small 4 cylinder car and decided he didn't need the excitement of the cherokee anymore.

    This gentleman had already taken the liberty of installing unibody stiffeners, an SYE'D 242 and threw in some dookin tow hooks for a small extra fee. The catch was it didn't have any axles under it. It's a little rustier than my current jeep and has 268k on the clock but fuck it.


    Well after 3 hours in the sideways rain and wind we had it loaded up on my trailer and was on my way back to CT. Now I need to start the process of swapping my axles from this:


    to this:


    I don't think I'm gunna run the Jay Leno on this one, Id like to have an approach angle better than stock for once. But that's it for now. Once I get done with school I'll really get to work with swapping shit over.

    6,000th post by the way bitches!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
