project resurrection renegade

[lucent]

i have a 83 cj5 renegade that has been buried in the weeds at a mcutler's house for the past decade so we have decided to
bring it back to life with the help of some friends mcutler, jeepn-jason and others.
plans: full cage, model 20 and dana 30 already locked from a donor jeep, 35s with beadlocks, 3 inch lift, white paint with factory stripes, plus more as the ideas are forever changing.

For right now i am sticking with the 258,t176 and dana 300. going to put the 4to1 kit in the 300. I have a 5.0 out of a 98 explorer, but going to wait till next year when i go with bigger axles, don't want to spend time and money make it work with the t176 just to replace the trans next year with c6. Thanks for the offer for some help might have to take up on it
