Keeping the ZJ and working on a stronger rear axle on the cheap, (it's the only way the wife would let me upgrade, sorry Mel) It's a secret, for now. Got sick of $3000 offers for a rig worth that in fair condition in stock form.
Starting to clean up the front winch bumper I found to put on the ZJ, gotta clean off the surface rust and go from there.
During the axle swap, I will swap in the brand spankin' new 4.5" RE coils I've had in a box since I got here. Soysauce's long shocks will go in at the same time.
Will start shopping for a cheap used winch for the ZJ, prefer a 9K+ device since the ZJ weighs in around 5K right now.
Sometime next fall, thinking of swapping a 12 bolt in the rear of the Burb to replace the weak 10 bolt. Will swap 10 bolt front from the donor Burb I got at the same time and gear the 12 bolt going in to match the 3.73 gears. 3.42's aren't horrible, but I'd sacrifice a few MPG's for a little more pull. (22 mpg in a 6000lb + vehicle seems insane. The ZJ gets 15 on a very good day.
Note to self, need to help Kevin more in paying back the time he lent me in the Burb's motor swap.
