Heres my 91 s15 Jimmy I picked up about a month ago for 300.00 It runs and drives but the rear axle is shot so I drove it home in 4x4 with no rear driveshaft. Its got the 4.3L 5spd.

 

 

When I started on it

The old Axle

The new axle and tires

yeah I just bleed the brakes tonite. I just have to put the driveshaft back in and put the tires on, then I'll finish trimming the fenders for clearance, plus it has air shocks on the rear so I'll be able to adjust the height some.

well I just finished putting the rear driveshaft in and put the tires on the rear, added some air to the shocks and its sitting good. Now I have to crank the torsen bars to level the front and put the tires on. Plus it wont start now because the battery cables are junk.

Yeah well when I have the money to insure this one and the jeep then it'll have the club sticker on it and I'll only use it for trails since I dont care what happens to the body.

Well it runs now I had a bad graound cable to the motor so I fixed that today and drove it around a little. I will have new pics as soon as I mount the other 2 tires to rims and get them mounted on the front. I would have done more today but I took the jeep out mudding in the backyard.
