[QUOTE="erikmuntz, post: 426006, member: 18887"] Hello all How I got my Jeep YJ is one of brash decisions, money burning a hole in my pocket, and a friend egging me on. Long story short, I set a budget last January for a vehicle I could off road with, work on, and make mine. I stumbled upon a $6500 neglected, beautiful IL6 4.2L that, when test driven, I knew was the one. Below are two pictures, how I got it and where she is now. The only thing I've had a shop do is rebuild the Dana 35 after it pretty much exploded because of a vapor lock caused by a bad axle seal and high temperatures. I did try and rebuild it myself but learned the hard way that gears are not something that should be done in the garage. [ATTACH type="full"]115986[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]115987[/ATTACH] I'm going to open a build thread and explain all of the modifications I have done/am doing. I'm kinda using this forum as a "diary" as well to help me keep track of it all while sharing. California and the greater southwest have the greatest off roading; change my mind. Erik [/QUOTE]
