Hi- I'm Chad.  This is my 93 YJ (widow maker)  which I have had for about 4 1/2 years.  Bought it with a bad frame and good drive train. Pulled the body, swapped the frame, trimmed the fenders and put on a 6" spring under lift.  488 gears, rear posi, front lock-rite and a set of 35's.  Wheeled it for 1 year and had a blast.  But a jeep is never done.  Figured out where my weak links were and went back to work.  Next came a slip yoke eliminator, cv drive shaft, 9" ford rear end with a detroit locker, 31 spline alloy shafts and upgraded front axel shafts.  Wheeled a 2nd year and had even more fun!  But again a jeep is never done.  Found more weak links and widowed my wife again.  Which brings us to the current (final?) build.  Dana 60 king pin front, dana 70 rear, dana 300 transfer case with a lomax 4:1 kit, 456 gears, detroit lockers at both ends, 41" tires and the pissa resistance...a 200,000+ mile 4.0!  :D   Here's to hoping the 4th year requires less upgrades!  Looking forward to wheeling with Aces and braking a few parts!
