Nice, I got a 88 Ramcharger on 31's, and a 2 inch Body lift. She is my first and I plan on restoring her more and more. Just dropped in a new 318, buying 4 Inch Lift and 34's for her. Any Good Advice?

A '92 Jeep Wrangler was the first wheeler I drove that wasn't my Dad's.  I put 32' and a 3.5" lift on it, and I totally trashed the worthless Dana 30 and 35 (didn't know it but spun all the wheel bearings).  Upgraded to Dana 44's at both ends, Coil suspension up front, still trying to get the rear (spring-over) to behave.  Busted the pinion shaft in the rear this week.  &*%#$#$. I had just gotten it running too!  I also was given my Dad's '89 Ramcharger with 3 speed auto and a real wheezer of a 318.  Man I miss that thing! I never did anything but drive it and change the oil, it was totally underpowered, and a blast to drive. Should have sold the Jeep and kept the Ramcharger.  
'92 Wrangler, 36" Swampers, Dana 44 axles (Ford front and Scout rear), Arb lockers, 5.13 gears; 4.0L engine w/pacesetter exhaust, K&N filter and Airaid throttle body spacer.  Homemade 4 link up front w/coil suspension. Springover in rear...

'78 Chevy Luv 4x4.  Was my first vehicle.  I think I bought it for $300 and spent the next 2 weeks learning how to rebuild the carburetor and replacing the head gasket, only to have it throw a rod about a month later.  Nice, cheap lesson in what not to buy.  Ever.

Im not even sure of the year but it was a Jeep J- 4000 my Dad swapped in the old AMC 360 and it was awesome. He handed it down to me at 14years old and by the time I was able to get it licensed I burnt itup. There was an optional electronic hub wire running around loose under the dash and it caught fire and burned up. Later after it quit burning i found a fire extinguisher behind the seat. I wasn't smart enough at the time to disconnect the battery when it started smoking. We rewired it and even put some NAPA paint on it but i never used for more than cutting wood and slinging mud.

Mine was 91 Jeep Grand Wagoneer with 360 auto Dana 44s front and back. Me and a buddy built some 4 inch shackles for it and 4 inch blocks in back I was so poor we even made extensions for the shocks, cut off the track bars and sway bars pulled hardline out of the frame for brake line extensions. I worked part time at a tire shop for 33x12.5x15 tires and rims. flew it once and didnt break anything it was fun to wheel but scary to drive faster than 35 MPH those were the days sold cuz I needed money. Glad I sold it it was a gutless.
