Well....finally I can explain why I have not been getting things done on the Black or White Rams recently....I bought a TJ Project!!!! Been trolling around CL and online looking for another project now that the White Ram is driving and mostly done. I really need something to work on intently and not just small bolt-on stuff.
I stumbled across this 1999 Jeep TJ Sport w/ 130K, manual trans, 6 cyl 4.0L, soft top w/ half doors, Red with a number of things missing for a steal! It was a fellow TulsaOffroad member's rig that he started a 1 ton swap on back when he grenaded the rear. It had sat too long and he just wasn't able to get the time or money to finish, so he sold it to me. Had another guy trying to outbid me, so I'm really fortunate he chose me over the guy who would have likely just rebuilt to stock and sold it....
Not much to report for now. Making arrangements to pick it up and get a space opened up in the garage. It comes with a 14 bolt rear axle (unknown ratio), a few stock suspension parts, CB w/ antenna and most of the stock parts. Its missing: axles, tires/wheels, front sway bar, soft top fabric and likely a few other misc parts I didn't notice. Plan is to pull the 1 tons from the Black Ram and slap them in the Jeep and then put some new 1 tons in the Ram.
Here's some pics to hold everyone over..
So Jeep is still considered a Mopar...right?? LOL
