[QUOTE="Ben Venner, post: 437388, member: 20830"] Thank you for your kind words. This Jeep has been a project. I come from XJ's and TJ's, so this is new territory for me too. The interior is a stock interior, that somehow survived the pervious owner. Not the most sought after seats, those would be the green Saharas. But they do look good. There's a VIN code for this interior, I'll take a look tomorrow and see what it is. I'm sure someone on here knows it off the top of their head. You shouldn't have problems with cruising and light off-roading with 33" tires, the Dana 30 in the front will be your weak spot. There are a million solutions for that. Different axles, axle shafts, gearing, and so on. But for most uses, 33's are just fine, but don't expect the world out of the Dana 30. A 3-3.5 lift will fit those fine, and BDS is a great quality company. You don't have to go that high-end, even. Something lesser will do the same job. Hence why I have a RC on this Jeep. Drivability, yes, it's underpowered. I can cruise 55 in 4th gear on flat ground. I don't use 5th gear unless I somehow I get it to 70, which is rare, and I have 4:11 gearing. Just fine for a cruiser, but not a commuter. But my engine is tired, 215k. As for the shackles, the first picture is "correct" the older picture with the huge stinger on the bumper, would be flipped/boomerang shackles. [/QUOTE]
