Ironman's jeep builds

[ironmanandy]

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.

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!
