Something new to tinker with. Had 50k on it. Found a premium soft top on Marketplace for 250, added some side steps, LED headlights and have some Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT in 37x12.50x17 going on it this week. Getting 4.88 gears installed soon too.

Nice. I've had my eye out for something similar for a winter project. If I don't find what I want, I'm thinking of building either a small duck boat out of cedar or just a small bay skiff.
Good luck with the Jeep, update when you have it how you want it.

Had some LT37x12.5R17 D range Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLTs mounted today. Nexen Mudders on it were 12ply F range..tank treads. Tires were 103lbs each off the wheel. Rode like a dump truck. Noisier than Hillary Clinton on a bender

Look good but probably only need a C-rated tire for that thing. Need to get back to my '56 one day but here I'm getting ready for more concrete instead, lol.

Northridge4x4.com had Warn Evo 10k winches 45% off, and a $150 Warn Rebate on top of that. Came out to $303.×× after taxes, shipped to the house. Ordered it yesterday afternoon, UPS delivered it at 11am today. Installed and working. Can't get a HF China Special that cheap

4.88s with a rear e-locker going in on 12/7. Just gears for the front axle for now. Probably gonna look for a D44 front axle next year sometime to replace the weak D30.
