I haven't posted a lot but I have been following Recce01's build thread and have been inspired to start my own and share with a great community of people who are passionate about the great outdoors and overland vehicle modification. So my goal was to build a very capable yet street friendly vehicle that could be driven to the trail, wheeled the snot out of and drive home. I feel I am getting there. Now down to business. every thing that says custom was built by me. I have a passion for fabrication. (lots of free time and not much expendable income helps). I will be starting this thread at the beginning since i have documented most of my mods for my own personal reasons, and will add to it in my free time.
The vehicle I started with.
Bone stock 97 Grand Cherokee Laredo 4.0, 42re, np242, low pinion Dana 30 and Dana 35 199,000 miles. (now has 250,000).
Current mods are
York on board air with 2.5 gallon tank.
Custom rear storage.
4" lift Rubicon express coils jks acos front and rear.
Custom front 3 link long arms. with rubicon express extreme duty track bar.
JKS. quicker discos.
Fully adjustable Rubicon express short arms in the rear with lengthened stock track bar.
5 33x10.50r15 km2s on ultra rouge 15x8 3.75 bs.
G2 4.56 gears.
Solid diff covers front and rear.
Custom front axle truss

Custom unibody frame rail plating.
Two tone interior tan and dark gray. Ruff tuff front seat covers. lots of stuff added from a limited fully electric leather seats, auto head lights, 700watts of 110 power wired in the center console, custom storage pocket were the vic used to be, cobra 19 cb radio, blue tooth head unit, among other things.
List of near future mods
