Well, its not as hardcore as some ZJs ive seen, but here it is. Started out as a stock 93, then I through a 3" lift and 31" street tires on it, then went to 6.5" and ran 31's until I could get my 8.8 ready to be put in. The 8.8 is out of a Bronco not explorer. D30 up front still, maybe one day ill swap it but who knows. 4.56 gears. Rollin on short arms....yeah I know, lot of lift for shorties. Ive got the front long arms just need the rears. A little less than a year ago I painted it olive drab in the basement/garage at my g/fs house and put my grandpas military info on the front to kinda pay tribute to him. He was a medical corporal in the Korean War. Now that we've somewhat discussed the history of the jeep, here it is....

whats up with the driver rear tire? packed up that bad, or just that bald?
 
packed full of mud, that was some of the stickiest mud ive been in. Tires are mud dawgs with at least 75%+ left on them.

That thing looks great man! I've seen you around town as well. Where was this sticky mud at? Reminds me of the pipelines in Ktown. :p Not that I've ever been back there on city property or anything.. heheh
