Just copied over from my local 4x4 forum

This is a daily driver/wheeler project I'm building for my girlfriend. 2.9, 5 speed, and open diffs with 3.45's.

Picked it up for a few hundred bucks off craigslist



It had been sitting for a few years with a dead fuel pump and a gas tank rotted full of holes, so after getting it running with a new tank and pump it was obviously way down on power. A closer inspection revealed one bent pushrod, and another just floating loose under the valve cover



After the driveability issues were worked out, I threw some 1 1/4" blocks in the rear and cut some spacers for the front out of aluminum round stock, with some used longer shocks I had laying around



That gave enough room to clear a new set of 31x10.50 General AT2's

Eventually it will end up with a 302, 8.8 rear, and either a Dana 35 front or an XJ dana 30, I keep going back and forth on it. I work for a towing company, so it will probably end up with whichever I can score for free off a wrecked truck
