    Got some more work done... The AX5 was trashed. I totally dismantled it and was going to rebuild it. Fifth gear set was shattered. It had water/silt in the transmission at some point. I was told it was all good. Chalk it up to another lesson learned. I picked up another ax5 & 231 and some...

    So, I’m down to the frame on the Resto. About to blast, KSB and then top coat. In looking at my differential covers I have a Dana 30 with 4.11 up front and Dana 35 will 4.10 in rear. That’s what is stamped on the ID plates. Is that fairly standard for them to be different for more aggressive...

    Yup.... I’m not sure what I’d be able to do after I cut it off. Worst case scenario I can built bolt on brackets with some plate on the end of the frame and go from there.

    Yes, it came that way. I plan to evaluate the situation..... it’s coming off for sure. I may consider another frame altogether. There are several out there.

    Thinking the 7 year warranty is the way to go after reading through the BBB ratings.

    I am looking disappointed that the guy was not totally honest about the engine that came with this jeep. It was supposed to be plug and play, however I knew it was a possibility. Here are my options: 1) Build myself- Machining and new parts from the machine shop- (about 3 weeks)...

    1995 Wrangler Rio Grande Build

    Well.... I am considering motor options. I can build the motor to long block status for about $825.00 or i can get a "reman" for $1930. Funds are tight, but I want it done right. I have no issues with the mechanical side of putting it all together, but the 7 year warranty is nice. I can build...

    I’m new to the Jeep world. I have been a diesel/truck guy doing conversions and alternative fuel stuff! I built project with both of my boys that they still drive. My 20 yr old daughter has always loved jeeps. I picked up a 1995 wrangler that I’d literally totally disassembled for a rebuild...
