Re: Ironman's jeep builds
looks really good, I want high steer....
Re: Ironman's jeep builds
The only problem with this high steer is that heims tend to wear much faster than rod ends.
Otherwise this will work very well.

Re: Ironman's jeep builds
So i have been talking for a while about really wanting to get into this ECORS thing with a buddy or two. it seemed like a little fun to race other jeeps through the woods.
wahooo!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyway I needed a stock vehicle with 4x4 that had some real oooomph!
I decided a 1998 grand Cherokee with the 5.9 litre engine was the one for me.
I found this over in Asheville and picked it up for 750.00. I fixed a bad battery cable with a pocket knife. started it up and drove it on the trailer. Needless to say the seller was a little flabbergasted that her jeep just needed a little TLC.

It came with a 4" lift 31" tires, rockers, a beefy track bar and JKS quick discos.
it has 185,000 miles on it but only 75,000 on the engine.
A little tune up, tranny love, and some overall tlc and we will be ready to rock!!!!!
stay tuned for the carnage. There will be chopping involved in with this monster.

Re: Ironman's jeep builds
good score Andy ... owners face must have been priceless when ya fixed it with pocket knife..just a question ..um what do ya mean about tranny love :eek:.....:sad0147:

Re: Ironman's jeep builds
The trans is a 46re beefy 4 speed but i think the fluid was never changed. its slippy. I am either going to have a really questionable sexual experience or rebuild the trans. you decide!

Re: Ironman's jeep builds
Do a good oil change and see what happens. You never know.
Re: Ironman's jeep builds
That is definitely the plan
